I wouldn't say that it could only happen in Obscurus, (in fact Pacificus would probably be better given how infamous it is for rebellion). But it could still happen in Ultima, especially if they make sure that the Imperial Tithe is still paid. In general, unless the tithe is not paid or they are preaching heresy the Administratum does no care all that much what happens.

Here's one example of how it could be; The gangs have always existed in a smaller form, but the heavy imperial presence has kept them from getting too big. However, with the expansion of the Tau and the arrival of the Tyranids, the Astra Militarum/Imperial Navy and Adeptus Astartes no longer have time nor resources to devote to keeping gangs down. Seeing this, one particularly clever gang leader took the chance to unite the various gangs, possibly making a under the table deal with an Inquisitor that so long as they keep the tithe going the gangs are allowed to run free.

Thats just one suggestion though. Still waiting on that last vote.
