i think fork was the correct approach -- it was written in such a way that many of the popular dwm patches can be applied cleanly to dwl.
(i used dwl for quite a while. strong recommend.)
It's not really a fork in any meaningful sense, because rewriting dwm (or any other X11 WM) to Wayland means re-doing almost all code. A "dmw with Wayland" would basically be "if (x11) { x11_code() } else { wayland_code() }".
yeah, by "fork" i really just meant "separate repo". you're right.
That is very nice!
