...because I don't have 100 years to wait for Gentoo compile every new version

Seriously, though, your email was very thought-provoking, especially the part
about the OS compiling itself at run-time. Which begs the question you were
dancing around, which is: what is the appropriate time to compile? The only
thing that concerns me about mono is the same thing that has always concerned
me about java, which is the issue of the JVM/CLR sitting atop a perfectly
good OS (linux), slowing down everything. Python code is already slow;
imagine how slow it would be adding the CLR abstraction layer? Just thinking
out loud here...
