Patches that provide additional functions may be considered, but there is no doubt that bugfix patches should be applyed into blacbox. I would be glad if blacbox could remain a minimalist window manager. But there are many ways to achieve that. If do not like e-mails and want to write your own letters that does not mean that you should not use the post but use such medieval methods like a messenger or a carrier pigeon.
