Because the desktop does not need to be consistent?

I think you are missing out that

1. people can not interact directly with all the upstreams Fedora builds
on (do you? not just the parts you're working on but all the other bits
you use). Even a dozen upstream MLs is sufficient to saturate any inbox.

2. rahul is one of the few people that tries to be active on the various
Fedora channels and put everything together, if you find him clueless
why I can't begin to imagine what your opinion of a basic community
contributor is

3. you complain the desktop team is misunderstood but as far as I know
its only frontend is http://fedora.redhat.com/About/Projects/desktop/
(almost no info, retired wiki, no reference to the famous irc channel
everyone should know of)

4. you feel you spend too much time on packaging work yet you totally
ignore all the non-redhat people packaging desktop bits in current
Extras. They're not going to help you if you persist being in stealth
mode.

I've been seriously asked in the past if the Fedora Desktop Team
actually existed. That sums up the current situation pretty well.
