So you refuse to maintain wmii and there is no visible replacement
maintainer, but you are still directing it's development? Do you
expect this to work?

I think that some of dwm's simplifications are worthwhile. For example,
I never thought that the 9P support in wmii was worth the downsides of
slower operation and so many race conditions.

But I disagree with the decision to eliminate run-time configuration
files in dwm. Yes, I could edit "config.h". But why should I have to
recompile and re-install every time I change a setting? Also, this
scheme does not fit in well with multi-user systems.

I've written configuration file parsers before. It isn't that tough.
Please re-consider this decision.

I think that the right direction lies somewhere in the middle ground
between wmii and dwm.

Thanks,
Doug.
