[dwm] DWM still too much?

DWM is a great minimalistic manager, but there are still too many unecessary
features.

I know, different strokes for different folks, but I personally don't like
the tagging method of managing my
windows. Tagging could lead to a more efficient environment, but since our
minds usually track things by location it could be more simple if the
feature is removed. With tagging removed, the status bar would no longer be
necessary leading to more screen space. Displaying the window titles are
not necessary because there's no point in a title if you see the whole
window already, right?

So I'm here to seek some help to efficiently modify dwm to be more
simplistic. I used to use version 2 of wmii to create a scheme where there
were:

- Hotkey to remove selected window from the current view (Minimize)
- Another hotkey to add back the removed windows to current view in LIFO
order (Restore)
- No status bar or window titles to be processed

I'm wondering if this is possible to recreate easily using the existing dwm?
