What holds up official releases, then? It seems to me, the state of Linux DE's has changed significantly since 2012. Xmonad 0.11 doesn't seem to play nice straight 'out of the box' on fresh installations of the latest, largest distributions.

It never has and quite possibly never will; EWMH is not in the core, and many xmonad users explicitly do not *want* desktop environment support ("if I wanted a desktop environment, I'd run one"). Minimalist window managers are not maximalist window managers wearing sheep's clothing.
