I guess so. Although I don't know who could drive this initiative. I
have zero programming knowledge although could help in finding bugs
and stuff.

Also looking from past experience (w.r.t. ubuntu) it takes couple of
releases to have things right. So even if its discussed and
soft-launched today, it would take anything between a year or a bit
more to have its benefits coming in.
