To put it simply: we don't have yet contributors able and wiling to a 
new sound theme.
The bunch of us here are mostly skilled with graphics. And arguably, 
working on sounds has a higher barrier to entry: on top of skill and 
experience you need also some hardware and software, the hardware cost 
money and the software for sound processing is not very well present in 
Linux/FOSS.

OpenOffice.org need a very large number of icons, Firefox also need some 
more icons and only a few people work on Echo, all of them in their 
spare time. Is a problem of manpower.
And we are somewhat split in the opinion *if* Echo is the future for 
Fedora (for example, there is a number of supporters for a personalized 
version of Tango, just like Ubuntu do and a small number of supporters 
of a renewed Bluecurve).

And the integration would be even lower without the hard work done 
upstream by a number of Red Hat developers. The integration is better 
with every new release.
