I don't think it is too much work, but there are a few political brakes. One camp does not want too tight .tex integration in the core (and rather spend the same amount of code on parsing .lyx syntax), the next one thinks reLyX is cute (especially if nobody understands it), the third one does not want to break anything that happens to work (somehow, for a few people) and the fourth camp likes to completely stall work for three months twice a year...
