I vote for ripping that one out.
Reasons for my vote:
1. It was one of the first things I disabled.
2. I had to ask someone how to do it because "depth=1" is NOT a clear
description of "forces windows to be on top no matter what you do".
3. It is DIFFERENT from how zephyr windows behave under all other window
managers.
If it were more obvious how to undo it, and if it weren't so bloody
annoying when it is there, I'd say it was harmless enough to try. As it
is, I think it will just make users angry and add to questions for olc.
