I think the difference between Python2 and Python3 is much bigger,
because the API has changed. You need to completely rewrite software
from 2 to 3.
For profiles < 4.5, there are only minor issues I suspect.
Can we hold the package maintainers of the other packages responsible
for patching and fixing their packages for Mono 4?
I don't think we should maintain two different versions of Mono, if we
have trouble maintaining just one...
Alternatively, we could first focus on getting Mono 3.12.1 into
Fedora, before we start working on Mono 4 at all.
