I'm not too keen on the idea. It slightly irks me that fvwm95 was split
off; why could not the effort be invested to get fvwm to the point where it
could do what fvwm95 does instead of just taking off in an incompatible
direction?

As for Bowman, is it still being developed?

I think that would be the the ideal goal.
