That's true. But my intention is, that nobody needs to
reconfigure dwm. It should just work perfectly for everyone.

Honestly, if there are updates to config.h now, you *will*
notice it, because of a hg conflict warning. In the past you had
to check explicitely. And there were a bunch of people claiming
in the chat that something was broken, because the config.h
scheme changed somehow. This won't happen with the current
scheme anymore, though maintaining private changes must be done
with more care now.

(I'm in the good position, that config.h is my personal
 configuration actually ;)))
