My impression from his blog post and comments are that it was less
about the incident with FESCo, and more about the pushback he feels
he's getting surrounding his primary interest -- Mono.

Not knowing all the particulars, I can only suggest that if Mono
related projects are truly not as welcome within Fedora, it would make
sense for him to leave for a project that is a bit more in tune with
his interests.
