[Mono-dev] List of cleanup candidates for Mono 4.0

[Miguel de Icaza]

Before we go down this path.


Mono 4.0 is not about a general call to clean things up.   We are only

Please do not turn this into a threat to clean this up.  That can be done
independently and on its own schedule.

Atsushi, I'll follow up later today on relaxng
