@jamesh @Conan_Kudo @sortova @jzb @popey my recollection (perhaps wrong) is the anti-mono stuff was all in the GTK2 era, disenfranchising devs, which could explain a lack of momentum behind GTK bindings maintenance in the Mono stack (or could just be my idle speculation)

I recently “solved” this for my personal mail by buying in Mythic Beasts as a provider. But I haven’t sorted out sending at Debian.org yet so I get lots of mail rejections from Google to my Debian emails, including to mailing lists I think.

@simon I was about to suggest that we’ve all got a one way ticket 50 years into the future, if we just wait, but that supposes we survive another 50 years.
@fraggle I’m having a spot of health trouble atm (exotic Infection from holiday abroad) but otherwise stuff is good.
