What I´m saying is that if someone is pushing for Gnome to become
infected with Mono, it´s a way better choice to make it depend on the
GPL´ed OpenJDK rather than .Net which is a Microsoft controlled
platform.
In other words, that given a choice between OpenJDK and Mono, that
Java is the lesser evil.
Anyway... I just hope that with the recent death of Moonlight (the
SIlverlight clone)

...and the firing of Mono devs from Attachmate after Novell let it go
http://lxnews.org/2011/05/06/attachmate-kills-off-mono/
...that this will soon be a problem we don´t have to worry about. :-P
Yet, it worries me that Microsoft might feel inclined to fund the
Gnome Mono infection directly instead of using proxies as they did in
the past...

Is it possible to quite upgrading Gnome if Microsoft does infect it? If not, then it must be possible to write Mono out of Gnome for our purposes.
