When I loaded F9 on my AMD box (from the live CD), I deselected mono.  
It ended up with Tomboy, which I had also deselected, (but no f- 
spot). Checking dependencies, the only thing that removing mono  
caused to be removed was Tomboy.

Thus, I do not believe such an argument is valid, and, considering  
the provenance, I am concerned that the argument could gain some  
default respectability.
