I don't think so, but GNOME does have a long history of diving down the stack and fixing problems when we run into them in lower levels. Of course, fixing long standing bugs that are often depended on corner-cases is certainly going to require additional engineering (the current tmux/screen situation comes to mind).

These things are largely a thankless task, and often a hostile process. Everyone seems to want their bug fixed, and nobody elses.

We very much need everyone interested in our shared commons to come to the table and discusses their needs. Otherwise it's not a commons.

And that may well be why we see a whole lot more controversy surrounding Gnome than KDE...
