Well, I did not say that we could not use Cecil. 

Only that if a Cecil dependency should be introduced, we should use the
guidelines for doing so from the Application Deployment Guidelines.  In
short it means: bundle a copy of Mono.Cecil.dll in the distribution.

We are already doing that with MonoDevelop (it distributes its copies of
Stetic.dll).

The only downside is that you can not load two corlibs into memory at
the same time, so it might not be usable to document mscorlib.
