[Mono-list] Question on Code Generation

[Mono Trober]

I'd like to hear about, you can email me directly if you don't mind.

I'm working on Microsoft Oslo stuff for my own shop and asked via the Mono 
wiki if Mono work in-progress to support it.
Due to Oslo currently being on a preview pre-release (CTP), Mono will wait. 
Understandable.
But, I'd be interested in seeing to it Mono can support .Net 4.0 modeling 
the very day.Net 4.0 releases.
