This is something I never understood. Why expect your window
manager/desktop environment to give you functionalities? Why not
install them a-la-carte to get the exact system you want?
As a matter of fact, putting functionalities in the wm/de makes it more
likely they'll get entangled with irrelevant stuff like dbus,
PulseAudio, and systemd. I mean, if your wm/de already uses this stuff,
why not incorporate it in your functionality in some silly way, perhaps
to gain a feature nobody even wanted.
I'm a fan of a-la-carte myself.
