I can't help but think that Microsoft has decided to proceed in some way that will break compatibility, so they're done with Mono now.
I know it's skeptical, but I just have no faith in that company to act in good faith with anything.
dotnet is now a multiplatform framework itself. Do they still need mono?
Is mono not the .net framework version? .net core has always been multi platform, but is not compatible with .net framework apps. So any .net apps built against 3.5 or 4.x would still need to use mono.
It is the .net framework version. I'm not sure mono is used in anything but Xamarin and a handful of gnome apps. Xamarin has a clear upgrade path to MAUI but not without some effort and the risk of missing nugets, I did it on a small app once. This isn't super useful.
