 Because you might want to know what version of the fx you have. Maybe
 you want to write something that can use reflection to handle generics
 or something and need to know if it is the 2.0 api

+Another example: an application may want to dynamically load an
+assembly depending on the runtime version it is running on, in order
+to be backwards compatible.
+
+Like it or not, the MS.NET version numbers are relevant to Mono,
+because every .NET assembly has the version number embedded in the PE
+header, and this determines the runtime version on which it has to
+run. So it make sense to keep that version numbers in sync with what
+Environment.Version returns.
