What do you mean by "exotic"?  Isn't that subjective? :)

Here are the results of "guix size":
  - ratpoison: 172.6 MiB,
  - i3-wm: 263.4 MiB,
  - openbox: 322.9 MiB.

So Openbox is almost twice as big as Ratpoison, which I think matters
for a "lightweight" template.  Furthermore, Ratpoison quite is
convenient to use for those of us who use GNU Emacs and GNU Screen.
