Pretty much every major distro I'm aware of ships Mono as runtime and 
development packages to support applications *using* mono but not 
requiring development. Fedora, Debian based distros like Ubuntu, etc., 
have been this way for a while.  This isn't a distro bug. It makes 
perfect sense for the distros to do this so a mono runtime exists where 
its needed.

That being said, its not an issue with OpenSim, other than perhaps a 
dependency that could be noted in release notes.
