I recently installed i3 window manager but noticed i3status is still not included as part of the main i3 command or not part of the recommends. It can be installed separately. I'm not sure if it should be this way or not. 

Just thought I would comment and thank you for having it available. When I created this report I had to find i3status on the web to install it.

I'm not sure I understand, but the maintainer of i3status probably will.

re-assigning to him

Well, I'm not actively using either i3 or i3status, and I don't know how usable i3 is without i3status.

No major deal since the i3status pkg is in the repositories, just not included as a recommend.

Very well, I'm going to resolve this bug then. People who want i3status can now install it from the repositories.

It would be more of a WORKSFORME then.
