I totally disagree. Linux is just a kernel and each distro is a totally different OS; so each distro should be taking things in different directions. If all distros did the same thing, what is the point of different distros? You need to think about the different distros almost like the way you would think about MacOS and Windows... different OS's. If a company or person wanted to do the same thing as another distro but only build on it, they wouldn’t make a totally different distro, they would just add to a previous one.

I don’t think you guys understand what Linux is about; it’s about choice… so making everything the same with standards is going totally against that.
