The only problem with a bounty that I see is determining its parameters. Just because MonoDevelop and XSP work, doesn't mean all our threading problems will be solved. Problems people "haven't experienced yet" may still linger or new ones may be introduced. The other problem is a lot of the work from my understanding of my last emails to freebsd-threads will be in libpthread. The person's work will need to be accepted by FreeBSD's threads developers too. If someone wants to even just take a look at Mono and libpthread to determine what the problems are that would be great. (I'd like another opinion than the one I've already gotten to make sure we know what is really wrong.) I'm really interested in what any of the FreeBSD people on this list think too. Is this wise?
