We decided to add only in oi-userland what could be supported reliably to avoid packages becoming unmaintained. Even Enlightenment turned out to be troublesome and was broken 6 months until I figured the issue. Even if XFCE is a nice DE, we have already a lot of work coping with Xorg and MATE so I do not think we discussed it. Our situation is different than Linux distributions since we need to patch Linux-specific code, it requires more effort. The take is usually to focus on integration of selected packages (example: Caja's ZFS snapshot browser has no equivalent in XFCE). In short, adding another big DE to oi-userland should come with the guarantee that someone will maintain it. I use MATE and Enlightenment only, and I have no tried building XFCE. J. Perkin may have worked on it for pkgsrc on SmartOS.
