GNOME Platform Stormclouds

I am surprised that I have not heard more about the possibility of running IKVM/Classpath on top of Mono. It looks to me like this would allow the programer to choose either Java or C# while interacting with a common managed platform.
I realize that this still means using the CLR as a base but it seems to be more of a middle ground than having to choose or reject Java wholesale. It also seems like this would offer the largest possible library set.
Does anybody that better understands the issues have a comment?

You might want to take a look at Miguel de Icaza's blog(http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/activity-log.php). Especially at the
