No, I wasn't expecting you to monitor the sourcecode of all open-source
project ;)

Sure, no problem but what if at some sunny day, all to-do's have been
resolved and someone says : what is that still doing here, and removes it ?
:-)
We should make sure this is clear to everyone, and document it (in the class
source, or on the Mono website, or both) ... so this class (or whatever
class or mechanism we propose) does not get removed
I'll make sure the involved open-source projects will be updated to reflect
this ...
