So does that mean one can reasonably expect to use official F# implementation(compiler, vm, libraries) in Linux within the coming months/years?

F# is already distributed with Mono as it is open source
Lots of people use it
I'm not sure any of this would have happened without Miguel. Mono really gave .NET a second life when MS dropped the ball.
It's also somehow satisfying to witness Xamarin's success and further opening of .NET after all the bashing and hating Mono received from the free software community.
To be honest Mono was a rather uncertain platform due to patent issues and the Oracle vs Google lawsuit.
Now that MS has released the stuff under Apache license things have really changed.
