I am looking to get an intent to integrate from at least one community (ideally Symfony) so we can get and keep momentum early on.

Can you elaborate further with what you mean with breaking up create.js?
Right now create.js is basically architected to be the connection between VIE.js, various JS editors (hallo.js, aloha.js, etc) and some “MVC” layers (atm backbone.js):
https://github.com/bergie/create/blob/master/bower.json

Vie.js was also generally architected to be quite pluggable:
http://viejs.org

So I am not sure if it really needs additional breaking up but rather bug fixing, some modernizations here and there and most importantly integration with some newer “MVC” frameworks. And finally some new features like i18n, workflows etc.

That being said, Symfony CMF will have a two day hackday starting tomorrow (http://cmf.symfony.com/news/cmf-hackday-may-2015) and I will bring this up. I am quite confident that we would integrate any work that moves create.js forward.
