I complain. Please don't remove this from the main branch. At most not
the title bars. Having to pull request every release of dwm with a possibly
not-up-to-date titlebar pull request will be a big nuisance for at most half
of the users here.. How about a small config #define and a little less
code to maintain for the rest of us?

Another argument is that the title bars sometimes contain useful
information that convenient to have visible at least times (without
having to activate the window).

Since you're saying dwm is finished I don't see any real value in
changing this again... Or maybe I should just stay on 3.0 from now on..

As the nmaster indicator -- come on, is it less than 0.5 LOC? I think it
should stay.

Cheers,
