Much as it saddens me to say it, I think you're absolutely right. Realistically, we can't build a DFSG-Free release of a recent MonoDevelop without a huge increase in developer headcount (and about 120 new libraries).

Along with a few other apps, it is blocking the complete removal of the old webkitgtk library from Debian. If monodevelop is not going to be maintained in Debian, maybe it's better for it to be removed from Debian and we can point users to https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.monodevelop.com%2Fdownload%2F%23fndtn-download-lin-debian&data=04%7C01%7Cjoshield%40microsoft.com%7Cb10462b604214630019108d590bd96cc%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636574066315078900%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwifQ%3D%3D%7C-1&sdata=1unq2D4yI1E39J9SSr8Nu%2FjPFwvCBUQ1D5CuHiMyN%2Bs%3D&reserved=0 and maybe it will be available in a Flatpak or Snap some day too. Please let me know if you'd like me to file a Debian removal bug or what your plan is for Debian. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
