Which is why a GUI backend within pygame was never realised. There is no
ultimate design approach and having just a bunch of abstract base
classes for users to implement is not worth the work :-).

If you can find some good reasons, why that system would be better,
easier and more extensible than all the solutions available, go
ahead. Be aware however, that this will probably cause a lot of
discussion about the pros and cons.
