So I am to convince the maintainer of the project it is replacing (and who
was as I recall the only Desktop SIG member to even give his opinion on the
matter) and magically make it written using !Mono. That is certainly helpful
in showing why this will never happen. I am though most worried about one
reason given being that RHEL does not ship Mono, if RHEL wants to ship
Rhythmbox that is their decision but what Fedora ships should not be. What
else are we going to be dictated from above.. who else should bother to make
proposals for what they preceive to be improvements?

I shall happily retract the proposal, I will not be reproposing for F12 as
it is pointless to continue, I would be unable to fulfill the requirements
setup by FESco.

I thank FESco for their consideration and decision, it will be most helpful
in considering the future direction of my work with Fedora..
