You have the option of using whichever window manager meets your
requirements; that doesn't mean that other people are going to
implement features they not only don't want, but *actively* don't
want. You also have the option of maintaining patches to make it
GNOME-compliant.
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the option of using a window manager that
isn't unnecessarily bloated in order to conform to a
poorly-thought-out and underdocumented specification.
(Personally, I conceive Blackbox as a much-needed 21st-century
conceptual update of twm, which is just about all I could ask for in a
window manager. I understand that others may disagree on this, but I
can't help but think that a GNOME-compliant Blackbox is sort of
missing the point.)
