It's already super fast and absurdly flexible. Some things are already too good to need rapid releases...

I imagine that the latest incarnations of the three major desktop environments are pushing people back to more traditional window managers. As long as there are still users there's always room for bugfixes.

Too late to be a relevant release? FVWM has a pretty hardcore following and not everyone likes the big desktop environments.

Those were the days... Tue, 19 Apr 2011 20:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (moondevil) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?470605 http://www.osnews.com/thread?470605 What do you mean "Was" ?

I hope many open source projects update their status once in a while.
