project.el and the current discussion seems to revolve almost entirely around search paths and xref. EDE does project management, but has not needed to track search paths the way project.el does. It certainly has ways to find files, and has include paths and such needed by source code, but not generic search paths. I think project.el should be recast as defining search paths for search tools. EDE could then plug itself in to provide some paths if asked. I think calling it a "project" is overstating what project.el does.
In the meantime, attached is a small patch to enable EDE to provide roots to project.el. The new function works for me with 24.3, but I didn't try it in project.el
Perhaps all the work you're doing could just hang off ede since it only takes 2 lines of code, and if it is missing some sort of pruning tricks, it could just be added to ede.
