If we went that route, we'd probably replace Vessel all together with the core framework we've built under what's currently named "eos-voter". Within the next month or so we're relaunching eos-voter as a completely new, branded wallet, much like Vessel already is.
It's something that could be explored, integrating Steem into this new wallet has been something I've been thinking about for some time now.
