I don't think any of these are blockers for the most important user
experience improvements that desktop could use from the base OS.

On the other hand,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488968
is a blocker for something that would really improve desktop
experience, and in that bug that's desktop trying to work within the
system.

And you gave a lot of good advice there, thanks!  What we need is to
just be able to execute better on building on top of the current
system.

A lot of the things we want for desktop (example: writing an app,
deploying it, and allowing users to install it should be way, way
easier than it is now) has components that cross development,
packagekit, desktop application menu, fedora.  And given that the
current "system" (packages basically) does solve a lot of hard
problems, it makes sense to build on what we have than replace it.
