Of course I have but the question is - what is the point of providing a
binary that doesn't work at all without some optdepends?
Optdepends are used for software like lighttpd or apache where some
optional modules may need these optdepends. /usr/bin/wifi-menu is a
first class citizen of this package, not just some optional module.
I don't know of any other package that would do the same.

I do pay attention to the output, but current state of wifi-menu in
netctl is a nonsense. And what is a nonsense needs to be fixed, right?
Three other people already agree with me.
