I need to say that XGL might be some nice eye-candy, but XGL itself does not give you a good looking distro. Take a look at e.g. OSX. It does not have XGL, yet it looks very polished. XGL can even reduce the functionality of a desktop! Furthermore, if XGL is included by default, less and less users will be able to use Yoper at all as it will require even better hardware that many people refuse to buy. Yoper would take the route of Windows with its ista release. Vista doesn't work on your system? Buy better hardware! No, this path will only add more frustration than a fan following if you ask me. Thus, XGL should imho only be an extra option, but never (!) part of a default installation.
