 The mono maintainer and I discussed whether to have mono build on ppc64
 for F11.  It was decided that that would be desirable.  Building mono on a
 new arch requires that we build the package once using a builtin version
 of the C# compiler.  Then we can build the package a second time using
 that package to provide the compiler for the arch.  To do the second build
 we'd need to have mono-2.4-18.fc11 in the buildroot.

 I don't know whether this should also be tagged for the release.  The
 change is minor (just providing a build on ppc64) but it would allow
 packages using mono to build on ppc64 (if they add ppc64 to their
 ExclusiveArch lines).  If the maintainer did that *and* a subsequent build
 of that package had to be tagged for the F11 release, the new mono (and
 libraries the package depended on) would have to be brought in so they are
 available on ppc64 as well.

 If waiting for the release makes this easier, go ahead and defer this
 until then.
