Well, I didn't want to try to convert someone. It was merely meant as
a suggestion. Since there was no clear yes or no statement and at
least one person seemed to be in my favor, I thought this might be
worth discussing a bit more.
Although I can accept that xmonad will stick to darcs, I miss a clear
reason for that (even if it's just personal preference by one of the
developers).
Other than that I keep my opinion that xmonad might benefit from a
switch by attracting new users. Remember the 0.10 mess? It almost
seemed like xmonad was dead.
