Comment 1 for bug 297007

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Ubuntu has a policy for updating packages in the stable release, whicah can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

Updating to a new version of Mono because it provides extra features would probably not meet the criteria for a stable release update. However, it may be possible to backport the new version when it appears in Jaunty, using the backport procedure (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports).

If you are experiencing specific bugs with the current version of Mono or can highlight specific security vulnerabilities, then please open separate bug reports for these problems, so they can be considered for fixing via the normal SRU process. This would normally involve patching the current version to fix the problem as opposed to introducing a new upstream version. Updating to the new upstream version would introduce risks of regression.

I'm removing the 'security vulnerability' status from this bug report, as you have not reported any specific security vulnerability
