Well, I don't have the slightest clue about what it means, but it sounds like this other story: when Novell bought SUSE, people realized that the two most popular free desktops would now be under the control of the same company. Well, some years later nothing has come out of that fact, good or bad, so I wonder if we should care much. (Alternatively it might be that only a vigilant community kept Novell from implementing its mischievous plans, so your raising the alarm could be a good thing. Hey, I already said that I don't have a clue.)

Miguel has not managed to make Mono the primary language for the GNOME desktop, but on the
other hand, Red Hat / Fedora has compromised and (thankfully) allowed Mono packages (F-spot
and Tomboy) in their distributions.
