dwm won't gain any big features. Generally, if you want something in
dwm you hack its source then you make it available as a patch which is

I'm guessing witty means clever here. The code has to remain simple
and understandable in order to be hackable but keep in mind that it's
still targeted to experienced hackers.

Maybe it will when support for Xinerama in Xorg will finally end. I
