Which version contains Xfce (which I run)?

You are also not considering that there are folks, myself included, who
run a mix of apps, both gtk and qt (like k3b) in our current
environments.

I think that you are taking too much of a black and white perspective
here. There is already a lot of divisiveness over these issues and I
don't think that this would help. There are already maintainers focused
on specific components, which roll up into the full FC releases and I
think that this approach serves the community well.

My 2 cents.
