[Mono-dev] WCF work has been stopped due to some reflection regression

[Atsushi Eno]

I have almost explained in the subject, but any WCF effort has been
stopped for weeks due to repeating regressions in base stack.
Current one is related to some assembly loader issue I reported to the
team earlier on 18th.
So please don't expect any bugfixes until it gets fixed.
