I tried lxqt too once, and while nice, I found quite some things lacking, IIRC 
if because it replaces really a lot of things and not only plasmashell.
So while joining forces with lxqt sounds very obvious, lxqt AFAIK has a much 
wider focus, so I can understand starting a project which is "just" a 
replacement for plasmashell.
