I'm afraid it would become unmaintainable, with no means to really step forward. The dependencies between one and the other are due to history: there was no means for Automake to be independent of Autoconf: it had to know the Autoconf macros. It no longer does: as soon as --trace support is enabled, Automake becomes Autoconf independent (well, of course it needs 2.5x).
