Imho it is evident that this explanation applies to RedHat and not to
wmaker upstream. RedHat removed it because of _their_ "resource
constraints", i.e. they had their hands full with packaging
KDE and Gnome.

"resource constraints" is just a fancy way of saying "Sorry, we have
more important stuff to do."
