Yep, this makes it just a plaything, as far as I'm concerned.
Ripping float and tagging code out of dwm and pointing out that it's
smaller isn't a particularly interesting thing to do.

I was hoping you'd respond to this, Kurt. The Arch community is not
one I'm involved in at all, but from the outside they seem to have a

All good practise and experimentation and whathaveyou, but can be
annoying to see such works referenced before they have become
interesting.
