[IronPython] IronPython / DLR Direction

[yngipy hernan]

I am hoping that this will not happen to IronPython. I have projects in the
pipeline that heavily relies on IronPython :(....

It would be a tough sell for me to the organization if the language is not
officially supported by Microsoft.

Please let us know how we can help to prevent this from happening.

Regards,
Yngipy
