Oh reall, makes the user's environment nicer? Jordan, have you actually
tried to login as root with your .fvwmrc files? Doesn't work, the first
thing you have to do is delete them.
We're arguing at cross purposes. We should not destroy functionality in
3rd party packages, which is what you did.

I think we're arguing apples and doorknobs here. A scattering of
reasonable dotfiles for the purpose of making a new user's environment
a little nicer and, at worst, ignored if unused is not the same as
code which is essentially uncompilable in our tree without the
addition of another major component which we do not provide by
default.
