You pretty much said my 2c: Maynard wouldn't need that much development and
maintenance to be useful as a minimal DE that scales to different devices.
Unfortunately it's not getting the love and care it needs. Writing wayland
compositors/desktops seems to be common pastime so I'm a little sad someone
hasn't picked up Maynard as their hobby project.

Even if Maynard was maintained it would fill a similar niche as Sato now
does for X: not something we'd especially expect people to ship on products.
