[Mono-list] Why are extension method dependent on .NET 3.5?

[Atsushi Eno]

You could try bundling *our* System.Core.dll in your app

you are of course planning to distribute on non-windows too ;)
I dunno the details but there was some guy in my local community
who examined it, and filed some bugs in our lib.
