Window managers are leaf packages, at least they should be. If "awesome"
or "fvwm" are broken, other window managers or desktops won't be
affected at all.

If you are running into problems with your init system, you are risking
to affect hundreds of other packages. Core components like init should
be carefully chosen and maintained to be able to guarantee a stable
environment.
