Not sure about the word, but otherwise it just perfectly fullfills its
purpose:
Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s
pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase
small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
I have really doubts whether it makes sense to package it ... shared git
repository for Fedora-community maintained source code (if needed) and
one tiny binary in /usr/local/bin/ should be good for everybody.
