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.
