I think it might make some sense to simplify the whole
maximization concept, there are certain conditials in the
current implementation. I believe having an unrevertable
maximize-function for floating clients only is totally ok, since
we have togglefloating() in the code. If someone really needs to
maximize a tiled client, toggle it floating and maximize it. If
you want to undo this, togglefloating() again. Assume this
change happen until 4.8.
