Fernando is right. memory usage came up quite a few times already, so I decided
to finally add a note to the manpage explaining why we don’t want it in
i3status:

Therefore, I am sorry that your work was "in vain" (well, you are profiting
from it, I guess), but I won’t merge this patch.

Best regards,
