I think this is way too much speculation. I don't think anyone has proposed that MOM should be a general-purpose policy engine or that it should be "the" policy engine for VDSM. In fact Adam pointed out that in some actual deployments MOM is used discretely from VDSM and that is a concrete advantage of having a separate daemon. Further, redesigning the project or proposing a re-implementation on a different technology base is way beyond the discussion. In fact, that latter suggestion in particular is something that the MOM project should consider. The former (inclusion into VDSM) is something the VDSM project should consider.
