Which is why I posted it to the list, for discussion.

There is no reason I see that you cannot still use a KDE, X11, Kernel,
et al tracker for issues important to those various subgroups.  Issues
within those trackers can individually promoted to full blocker status,
whereas others may remain "would be nice to have" items.  Even with the
current tree of blockers, qa/releng/devel still went over the items on
the sub-blockers and reviewed each one for "blocker or not" status.
