The obvious factors are people and time, the question remains about how to start tweaking those at all. I would like to throw the idea of holding a regular conference/meeting/bof though, I think it's a nice way to passively check the state of development around other areas, seeing working code in action without keeping track of extraneous branches/compositors, questions triggered can just be asked, could gather people from several DEs and toolkits so consensus is more tangible, etc... I know there's been irregular meetings around other larger events, but those have been spotty so far...
