Actually, s-c-d kinda already has this.  rhpxl and pyxf86config are
already toolkit-agnostic, and in reality, much of the code in s-c-d
could move down to rhpxl.

I don't have any real incentive to do so though.  And I imagine that's
true for most of system-config-*.  I certainly wouldn't object if
someone wanted to do that refactoring, I'd be happy to use the result,
but when I examine my list of "things to do someday", it's, well, not
near the top.
