I'm not sure I follow. I was asking if: xmonad --configdir ~/.xmonad-`hostname` # or similar would meet your needs, and if it would do so in a manner not-too-distastefully to you. > And if we're picking and choosing which standards we consider to be > "true" standards, we risk getting locked out of distributions that > disagree with us. (I would not be greatly surprised if Debian were to > decide to demand it where it is relevant.) Um, everybody picks and chooses what standards they use. Nobody writes pages in HTML 5 or CSS 3, because no browser supports it [1]. YAML folks and XML folks avoid each other's standards when possible. There are various documented standards that are only followed within Gnome. Ditto KDE. HD-DVD lost, Blu-ray won. Only one project has implemented RFC 1149. I'd suggest we worry about getting banned from distros when that happens, or when somebody very close to a distro knows it to be quite likely to happen. [1] For some value of "nobody" close to zero.
