Sorry, but I don't agree at all. ;)

At first, we should not care about users getting confused by a feature that
they could simply ignore. It's really just some lines in wmiirc.

Secondly, I heavily use them, or in other words: not having them would add
much pain to daily usage, because it seems just natural to me, always opening
a second column for every second client per view (considering a 4:3 display
or even wider... is there anything taller?). Though, there are "natural"
exceptions like the "web" or "mail" views, therefore I simply need the
colrules.

Of course, if you like to replace it with something smarter, go on. But why
removing something long before there's even an *idea* on how it could be
replaced?
