River based WM's

With the release of River 0.4.0, a wayland compositor proticol, the community is starting to get some really light weight River based "window managers" such as Beansprout. I thought that these might be of interest to the community here and perhaps even some candidates for being included in bunsen's package repository.

Huge shout out to River's developer Isaac Fruend. I'm in no way affiliated with either River or Beansprout, just super excited that we might finally be getting that missing piece that enables more Wayland based WMs. And I thought that this might be relevant to others here too.

Re: River based WM's

Hmmm...  Personally, I'm avoiding AI as much as possible.  I've seen nothing good come of it so far, and I anticipate it getting it worse because everyone's trying to inject it into everything without proper safeguards.  Black hats are taking advantage of the LLM agents to create next-level mutagenic and polymorphic packages that scour attack vectors faster and more comprehensively than white hats can defend against.  In short, we've created a weaponized system without proper precautions first.
No offense to anyone, but the situation is just like gun ownership in the states.  Everyone's a "responsible gun owner" - until suddenly, they aren't.  And by then, it's too late.  Same exact mentality.
