The reason Fedora switched from Tomboy was its dependence on mono: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package tomboy.x86_64 0:1.3.2-1.fc14 set to be installed --> Processing Dependency: mono(NDesk.DBus.GLib) = 1.0.0.0 for package: tomboy-1.3.2-1.fc14.x86_64 Mono is not 'safe' or free (as in free from patent encumbrance). You are likely to find little sympathy for purveyors of mono based applications these days. Even if they made you coffee!
