Comment (by toshio):

 If it wasn't clear, I'm sorry, that's my fault.

 My initial feeling was that we should push it as an update after we had a
 few weeks of F-12 rawhide experience under our belts.  That and the chaos
 that will come about from package dependencies needing other packages to
 be rebuilt and included in the release (including mono itself) is why I
 recommended in the announcement[1]_ only building ppc64 in the devel
 branch for now and hold off on changing F11 until after the release.  But
 I'm not a mono/C# person at all so I've held off from stating that that's
 what everyone must do; that's really a mono-sig decision.

 If people want to start rebuilding their mono using pieces with ppc64
 support now, for the release, tagging mono-2.4.0-19.fc11 into the release
 shouldn't be a big deal.  The only difference between that and what we
 have now is a ppc64 build.  (2.4.0-18.fc11 uses a bootstrap mono to build
 so it is a little different in how it's created).  If people want to wait,
 keeping the spec files with ppc64 turned off in the F11 branch is enough.
 Note that having the newer mono package in the repository won't be
 sufficient for some mono using packages because of dependencies that
 aren't rebuilt for ppc64.
