Hello Alexander,

We are getting our house in order in terms of Linux support.   Jo Shields,
one of the Mono/Debian maintainers will be joining Xamarin this July to
work on both keeping our packages up to date on Linux, as well as restoring
our sanity when it comes to regressions, public CI and other services that
have languished.

We really wish he could start earlier, but he had to wrap up a long
commitment with his current employer.

That said, we look forward for a bright and lovely future for Mono on Linux
again.

Miguel
