title: Why doesn't DataReceived work on Mono?
body: <p>I am wondering why DataRecevied (or ReadChar()) haven't been implemented in Mono. I couldn't find anything on the notes for the 3.x beta and both are old known issues (<a href="http://www.mono-project.com/HowToSystemIOPorts" rel="nofollow">The first is even mentioned on the Mono documentation</a>) and seemingly easy to fix.<br>
  There are even "workarounds" such as <a href="http://antanas.veiverys.com/enabling-serialport-datareceived-event-in-mono/" rel="nofollow">this</a> that feel not-so-hard to integrate.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any solid reason for it being standing so long? Does nobody actually care? Is Mono not <em>really</em> under active development? The 3.x beta would point otherwise...</p>
