Probably a very niche use-case: I have an ultra-wide display that I split into two using `xrandr --setmonitor`, and I want the workspaces to stay in place when the split ratio is adjusted. Furthermore, this fixes workspace reshuffling when a virtual monitor is added for screensharing a portion of the screen (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41837204). Can't think of a scenario involving just physical screens where this would be useful. Those are mostly added/removed, so if anything, one might wish to preserve the workspace that is currently being showed, but that would require knowing the output name (only available via RandR, not via Xinerama). If someone physically moves their displays around and then invokes `xrandr` to update the layout, this might very well do the right thing, but I don't think anyone moves their displays around often enough to be annoyed by xmonad reshuffling the workspaces. :-)
xmonad-contrib
Community-maintained extensions for the XMonad window manager.
xmonad core is minimal, stable, yet extensible. xmonad-contrib is home to hundreds of additional tiling algorithms and extension modules. The two combined make for a powerful X11 window-manager with endless customization possibilities. They are, quite literally, libraries for creating your own window manager.
