That would be great. One could even think of a model where there is a
common repository for the "common base" (sort of like illumos) and that
the current OSes remain with their own identities as "distros" or
"spins" from that common base.
It is not bad per se that people have differing visions and/or community
cultures, and that these can be cultivated in different ways. With a
common base/upstream, improvements to one could easily also be
implemented by the others.
Personally I would love to see a "spin" that takes Sigrid's 9front rio
modifications for workspaces and theming and make them default. For me
that has become a huge improvement in the UI of Plan9. Hopefully that
work will continue and improve further.

Hosting the common base at the foundation would be logical, I think.
