Yes, agree to all. And imho, NOW (i.e. BEFORE a D7 final) is a good time to adapt such a more cooperative contrib development mode. Once all the competing modules have D7 versions, the problem is just prolonged for about two years until D8. And at the same time, some tools part of the workflow could be improved, too. Migration to GIT (only the D7 repository!), testing bots, etc. Of course it's a lot of work. Getting it done requires the commitment to do it.
Change happens by contribution. It seems you are highly interested. So why don't you pick your most annoying candidates, do and publish a module comparison, contact the maintainers and get them talking to each other to get the ball rolling? sun
