Your question was answered in the quote you included: he's asking for
the general devel list to discuss this before he brings it to FESCo
for their approval or refusal.

Also, as someone who has been testing this update in the COPR for
about a month now, there are a few striking changes (the redesign of
gedit is thoroughly perplexing), but on the whole I haven't found
anything fundamentally out of place in the desktop environment (just
in a few of the apps).
