You simply did too well on NUnit 2.2 ;-) and no one, until Atsushi,
needed the features "badly" enough to update the mono tree (potentially
a huge task).

(only?) "supported" version - even if we have been saying, for years,
not to confuse the old Mono's version with the latest and greatest NUnit
available.
