Why doesn't DataReceived work on Mono?

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 (The first is even mentioned on the Mono documentation) and seemingly easy to fix.
There are even "workarounds" such as this that feel not-so-hard to integrate.

Is there any solid reason for it being standing so long? Does nobody actually care? Is Mono not really under active development? The 3.x beta would point otherwise...

Mono is under active development. Xamarin is the main company behind it (as in, number of contributions compared to other companies).

This means, of course, that bugs/features that the Mobile offerings use get prioritized faster than other things. Do you have a company that heavily uses the System.IO.Ports namespace? Then consider contributing to it, it hasn't received much love lately.

PS: You do not even need to code to start contributing. For example, first thing you could do is review contributions from others, like this one.
