I was just thinking that it would be a massive eyesore (and possibly counterproductive) to suddenly have every element onscreen become fully populated. It would not affect everyone, but some people have intentional overlap of elements that are not used concurrently. (e.g. my alliance list is over the bottom half of my duty list; "action help" and "item help" would probably be pretty disastrous for everyone.) In the end, if this idea interests the developers, I assume they will come up with a decently-workable method.
