Please, that is complete nonsense, I have never stated that I do not want
new features in xfwm4.

But those features must remain within the scope and goals of the project.

Adding features to make xfwm4 behave like fvwm2 is definitely not one of
them.

xfwm4 follows what the X11 client (application) requests and will not add
complex configuration options to enforce a different behaviour.

I hope that clarifies.
