Yes! Can you write it up on the wiki and fill in all the blanks?

I have no objections here, the reason we decided not to split before was because the project was so small it seemed like it would be more of an annoyance than anything. If people think that having two separate repos would be good, I'm happy to work toward that. Another interested party here is Roger, he suggested this initially to support the wayland work (at least splitting off to -core, not necessarily splitting it out all to IPC interactions).
