Right, I see your point. I do not care quite
as much about security as you do, and I really
don't distrust the Mono codebase that much.
I don't use it, and I never install it, but
that is because I don't think a clone of an
MS-centric API for an MS-centric programming
language has any place on my Linux system.
My main concern is to avoid lock-in to an
"ecosystem" (never liked that word) that is
alien to Linux, the thing I suspect was the
whole point of MS supporting and encouraging
the creation of Mono in the first place.
I wouldn't really avoid that by resorting to
paying for a Windows license and running it
in a VM.
There are probably dozens of other badly audited
libraries on my system already, and I am probably
running with scissors in Linux without knowing it.
But thanks for elucidating me. Your motivations
are quite different from mine.
