I'm not sure if the latest version of Moonlight is good enough to support
Netflix as I have not used it for this purpose.
However, Moonlight development is dead, and Silverlight itself seems to be
just as dead.
(at least some of) Our Linux brethren are using Pipelight, e.g. see here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pipelight. I think porting Pipelight
would be more beneficial than reviving Moonlight, as it, at the very least,
would provide full Silverlight functionality instead of the subset offered
by Moonlight.
