No, and I didn't even know that monotone calls getservbyname(3). So
indeed we should (a) get that changed via IANA somehow and (b) try to
ask for the 'mtn' service first, and if that fails also for 'monotone'.

This is afaik not a Fedora issue. The entries in the /etc/services file
are not maintained by the respective package maintainers.

Best,
Thomas
