I think you missed out on the development dramas.  The Meta
representative for what became FDP absoutely rejected any proposal to
make it useful just for that reason, and anyone outside a small
circle got explicitly excluded from the development for just this
reasons.  This is probably as much as I can say without getting in
trouble here, but I'm happy to provide more details in private.

Then let's design something proper.  It's not that hard.  No one
needs to support anything, and between all the major design issues
in FDP and all the political crap thrown by Meta and Samsuns at the
interests of Linux there's no way I can support this.
