Well, I have to agree with Lionel. Although DFB engine lacks lots of new features, the environment it runs will unlikely allow these to be of use anyway. I say my company still uses DFB on some client set-top boxes and interfaces were designed with Evas+Edje+Guarana. If we have more projects in future, we'd like to use Elementary instead of Guarana (if we have time to work on the focus issues). That said, I'd not like to maintain this engine out of tree. I'm not adding more features now, but I can try to fix the build breaks if I am informed of those (ping me at #edevelop).
