I expect we'll end up with "gtk-weston", "kde-weston", etc (regardless of what the real names are), if we aren't there already, and those will become less and less compatible as time goes by and each group decides to create their own extensions. (If history is any guide, GNOME will implement their take on something, publish it on FDO, pretend it's a standard, and then break compatibillity with it themselves a year later and just ignore any complaints from KDE etc). Instead of programs written for DE1 just looking a bit crappy on DE2, they simply won't run at all. Good times...

I'm sure they'll get to it someday.
