in fact, is already has been answered:

'Yesterday afternoon Miguel de Icaza, co-founder of Ximian and current
CTO, told me, "We are going to support Fedora, and we are going to
support Red Hat. Remember, we want our software to be as widely used as
possible." He added, "We are Linux vendor-neutral. We are going to
support every Linux distribution because different markets have
different needs. It just makes sense to be vendor-agnostic and support
every player in town."`
