(There is also an indication that .NET is a dead letter and MONO will become unnecessary.)
The impression I have been getting lately is that more and more Windows applications are using .Net in some way. Not that they are written from the ground up with .Net. But some business/productivity applications use it for addons or scripting and quite a few games use it for their launchers. So having a way to run these applications in Wine without requiring the users to first download and install Microsoft's .Net packages would be nice. This wine-mono package is a step in that direction.
