[Mono-dev] Killing .NET 2.0 support?

[Jonathan Lima]

Yeah, I think that is a good move. It could even speed up old apps that use
2.0 runtime by using async and other new tools internally.

Also the effort to maintain 2.0 runtime can be used on maintaining newer
libraries and doing more important tasks.

So, +1
