What the F****** hell is that, we should not allow this in anyway after 
all the effort we made to have a good cross-desktop experience break it 
now is a no go for me.

So, if the situation is as bad as you think it is we should organize a 
sprint or something and try to fix the current freedesktop situation, 
create another standard without discussing with the rest of the 
freedesktop community is something we should not allow in anyway.
