Yes, it does, but this is not what I am hoping for.
When I first tried xmonad, I encountered the link you pointed and used
it but unfortunately, each time I tried to add another customization to
my config file, it failed because for a non haskell-initiated user, it
is *cryptic*.
So I registered to this mailing list, got the help needed and can enjoy
the power of xmonad but one shouldn't have to register to a mailing list
to get xmonad working.
The file Tuncer Ayaz has proposed contains several interesting
customizations. To be fully useful, it should be very easy to use in
most default keyboards on earth.

Best regards,

Alain

Here's an updated post with a short text that you might want
to include in the announcement:

xmonad (and xmonad-contrib) have evolved a lot since its first
release, and therefore it's a good idea to showcase a modern
xmonad.hs. The config below will give you a good starter xmonad setup
with minor customizations. These are:

(1) Ask for confirmation before exiting

(2) Replace default launcher binding with built-in shellPrompt, which
    is friendlier to use and does not require dmenu.

Arguably, these customizations should be the default, but as it
requires xmonad-contrib, we can not really make it the default.

Some of the things you might want to do next:

* customize looks
* control volume and display backlight
* customize layouts
* customize mouse behavior
* whatever you need and can imagine

Save this as ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs:

import           System.Exit

import           XMonad.Prompt.Shell

import           XMonad.Util.Run(hPutStrLn, spawnPipe)

main = do
    xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar ~/.xmonad/xmobarrc"
    xmonad $ defaultConfig

          terminal = "xterm"

Yeah, there are many hidden gems in the contrib namespace.

Thanks, good catch. Posed an update.

How would a modified version, making use of that, look?

I've removed leftover rules for mupdf and llpp. There's also no need
for making Gimp floating, because Gimp stable version has a
single-window mode, and there's no collection of windows anymore, if
you enable that. One thing I've noticed with mpv (and mplayer) is that
if you enter and leave fullscreen, then the video (inside window) is
cropped by at least one column of pixels, and the window is not
restored to its original floating position but moved right+down by one
or more pixels. These two effects are probably related, but I don't
see anything wrong with the config. Any idea what's wrong?

Here's v3 with more fixes and better wording:

Maybe it's because border width is reapplied by core and then by layout?

Is there a fix you would suggest?

Adapted to dock changes by adding docksEventHook as suggested by
