That would suggest we are wifes or either side. :D Kind of funny, really.

It's actually more like openly offering a refuge to the ones wanting
to escape the "bad" nation. Mono project being the supposedly "bad
nation" in this case. If people want to switch from Mono to Vala in a
noticeable manner, they can write the tools necessary themselves.
Trying to make it a community (Vala's) concern is a very bad thing.

There are some people trying to port their C# project to Vala for
whatever reasons (including me). Ask them. The answer is: it's
difficult, and you need to have a damn good reason to justify the
effort.
