The side comments on Enlightenment in general and E16 specifically are exactly my thoughts.
We should take heart and apply more effort into making E16 shine.

Definitely agreed by me. E16 is epic, but only if you give it a good configuration.
So - what I'm proposing is -
- Create an epic retro version of elive.
- Polish it up.
- Give it to magazines or whatever the plan was.
- Start with e2*.
- Profit with a great retro system.
Totally right ...... this was something that was planned and got lost somewhere.
Your point 4 (start E2*) I'm not so sure of.......in the sense that by the time that's really usable (for us) Buster will have been replaced by Bullseye.
So might as well connect Buster/E16/Retro/Minimal ..... it's what we've got and IMO it's stable enough to call it that, i.e Stable-Retro.
A slightly worrying thing is that a lot of stuff we use isn't Elive optimized, like those apps that come from Gnome having their own task-bars built-in. 
That's always really annoying to me. Like, it's the window manager job not you programmer !
