You might well be right, but it seems the Fedora guys thought a fork was necessary: >From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Interviews/MartinSourada The question asked why they forked Murrine "At first I thought we'd use Clearlooks as an engine, but as time went on, I got a completely different idea of how it should look and Murrine engine was the closest. There were however too much differences, like glossy style, that needed tweaking in the engine itself. We decided that the changes are too much for us to expect that they'd be accepted to Murrine. So, now I think I know that the differences are too significant to merge with Murrine, we removed a lot of original code and added a lot of ours, the engines went different ways, if we'd try to merge, it would lead to losses in rendering speed." Cimi (who wrote Murrine) used to read this list - Are you there Cimi - do you have a comment on this?
