I took the review for a few reasons: a) If Petr wants to maintain it...it's his call (as will be dealing with elitist upstream :-) ) b) Package is following packaging guidelines (apart from places where it really had to (installing sources even if it's not src.rpm for example). c) I am sure there are more useless packages in Fedora d) I like tiling WMs :-) I really see no reason NOT to have dwm in Fedora.
