The git repo will never die, sorry if that was the impression. 
I will always have time slices for Window Maker, for sure!

But right now I think that the number of patches which I missed for 
some reason is very small, and it always take some time for me to
study why they are necessary when they are not accompanied by an
enlightening commit log (I am not a programmer, btw).

I like to think about them when I want to learn something different 
from my day to day routine, but that does not mean that others
can't hunt them, provide a meaningful explanation in a few lines
of changelog and send them to the list :-)

As you perhaps noticed with that 64-bit patch earlier today,
they _can_ be confusing, especially to someone not much
experienced like me. However I can follow/learn the reason
when I see it, so that is why I like meaningful commit logs.
See the patch which I pushed to 'next'. For someone who
knows these things very well, that changelog might seem
childish. But that is what I would like to have read 
in the first place anyway, so I wrote it now :-)

So people, send me patches if I missed them!
