Not sure if I'll remove these again. All I know is that I'll no longer
have to worry about not having certain dotfiles if I want to try a
particular setup again, which is nice.
It turns out polybar was bloat and I don't actually need one, at least
that's my current thought process. In particular the advantage of
fullscreen windows without having to worry about whether polybar is
visible or not should outweigh when I temporarily show the bar with a
keybind.
Note that while I was exploring taking advantage of bspwm's monocle
layout more, I went through a point where borders would only be visible
when multiple windows were present, which required me to use the single
monocle config variable and implement the solution proposed in the
GitHub issue below:

I don't actually need to get rid of my old config files if I ever want
to have easy access to them in the future. Although I intend on using
Wayland, having a nice interface for traditional X applications may not
be a bad idea (some graphically intensive programs also run better there,
apparently).
