Certainly that's one approach. The one that seems more likely to generate widespread use is to put a tool in the hands of lots of developers, making it easy for more people to get involved and for unexpected uses to happen (e.g. MySQL v Oracle - though I'm not suggesting that the cost scales are equivalent here, it's merely the first example that comes to mind).
Rich & co. have historically been more interested in being correct than being popular, especially at the early stages. I would expect to see more components show up fairly quickly, but not before they're ready for use.
