That's surely more of a standard than Linux can provide, considering
Wayland :-)

I meant something more abstract that could provide a default desktop
feel and the possibility of writing more complex GUI interfaces in less
time, so that, for example, I could create a GUI tool while being
consistent with the rest of the environment.
Right now this can't be achieved (in an easy way) without taking into
account Qt, GTK+, X and an enormous number of other toolkits available.

This idea would precisely serve the purpose of removing this need and
eliminate redundancy of toolkits, when it comes to essential utilities
that FreeBSD would want to provide, like devices automounting,
partitioning (taking advantage of the system features) and so on... but
it's just an idea, of course.
