Hey, thanks everyone for reaching out.
The interest in making i3-gaps available to more people has prompted some discussion between Ingo (the maintainer of the i3-gaps fork, and an i3 core maintainer) and me. The key concern about the i3-gaps fork is code quality: the implementation cannot easily be merged into i3 as-is. One example is that you cannot enable gaps and display title bars at the same time. The intention behind publishing the fork was to make the feature available to people who can live with the lower code quality and restrictions, not to have a long-term sustainable fork. Ingo will outline what needs to be done to get i3-gaps into a mergable state, so that we can eventually bring these features to all i3 users. For the time being, our recommendation is to NOT add i3-gaps to Debian or any other Linux distribution. Instead, if you have time and motivation, please consider helping improve i3-gaps with the goal of a merge. Thank you, -- Best regards, Michael
