We already have this. It's called xdm, kdm, or gdm.

Starting X sooner or later in the boot process won't make Linux any better or worse than the competition.
What you are asking for is a distribution feature request, not a kernel feature request.
You can get X to startup sooner by modifying your init scripts. Just start ?dm after networking, and any other services that X will depend on. Now you can have any other services such as nfsd, samba, http, etc in parallel to X.
