All of what you wrote (in the snipped parts too) is true. But we have to take into account that there is a bunch of people who want to work on the alternate approach. It's their right and we shouldn't _force_ obsolescence of older software, especially if it still has users. The sitatation with X11 is complicated: many people report that it still works better for them (whatever the reasons may be). So I think that it's fine to say "KDE SIG, go ahead, do your thing without waiting for X11", but it's not fine to say "we will forbid having KDE-X11 packages in Fedora".
