Nothing on wmaker.git will change. I wanted to make that clear but
I guess I wasn't successful :-)

It's completely to the distro maintainer to decide what to do in

Because I think we can avoid losing a few users if we start caring

their lives using a solution which you find convenient under FreeBSD,
