Well, there's SonicDE, but like many such projects it's probably maintained by reactionaries which introduces its own suite of issues around security, code quality, and "will this be maintained in a year, 5 years?"
Is that "reactionaries" in the "we object to certain technology decisions" sense, like the anti-systemd crowd, or in the "software compatible with our political views" like the xlibre project?
A quick search (in which I found no evidence of heated controversy) suggests to me that it's the first one.
As far as I know right now, the first, but there's significant overlap. The suckless folks, for instance, have documented fash tendencies. The fact that SonicDE's stated mission is to preserve X11 support is itself a warning sign.

Why is it a warning sign? Sounds very useful to keep X11 support for machines that have no good video acceleration like office computers or stuff relying on VNC protocols.
