Great to hear that you will continue supplying this patch, because I already prepared dwm-1.9 without the stack position toggling. Due to several restructurings in the dwm-1.9 source, your patch will benefit from the resizecol-improvements, because the master ratio is remembered now, even if the stack is arranged in different positions.
