From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's always easy to say that other people should do more work to benefit others. Libawaita isn't anything new. It was announced loads of times.
That the current status isn't what you want isn't the same as not working together. Further, there's usually a limited amount of time and attention.
Within Linux there's loads and loads of opinions. Loads of different desktop environments. That complexity cost development time. Time that isn't infinite. Again, it seems to easy to direct how others should spend their time and/or to argue that they aren't doing enough for your liking.
Indeed.
Someone else replied to me with fantastic context I want aware of.

It seems Gnome did try to work with downstream but the engagement wasn't there.
