Assuming it can satisfy the rules of the bindings release, that is.
Multiple people have pointed out that they would dislike it being
accepted in the proposed form, with it intentionally depending on
modules in the desktop release (as this does not conform to the API or
ABI requirements of the bindings release set).  I'm one of those; I
fully support Gtk# (the portion that wraps platform libraries, that
is) entering the bindings release if this issue is fixed, and
personally am against it otherwise.

If Gtk# is agreed upon as okay for modules in the desktop to depend
upon, then it probably makes sense to also have a gtk-sharp-desktop
accepted module (which woudl bind modules in the desktop suite) akin
to how gnome-python and gnome-python-desktop are split.
