[Mono-dev] Anyone taking care of TPL dataflow?

[Alan]

The BCL is an integral part of the products xamarin provide, of course it
will be maintained! As for TPL Dataflow, it's not a commonly used library
so it doesn't receive as much attention as other libraries. However patches
are always welcome.

The existence of 'bugs' in the 'new' state doesn't mean a tremendous amount
unless that specific bug is affecting you. 'mono' is millions of lines of
code so it's quite likely you will never encounted 99% of the bugs in
bugzilla.
