Huh, we've already decided that we don't want to have to reimplement everything twice when we add a new feature to GNOME Shell, or a feature that uses GNOME Shell. For example, there's about 5 reimplementations of system status icons in various modules I maintain, and no fallback support for Zoom, or On-Screen Keyboard a11y features.
It was always going to go away, the only thing we haven't decided is when.
