tabbedex is not included in rxvt-unicode because it isn't maintained by us,
not because of possible lack of quality.

while it is technically possible to include it, does it have actual
advantages? users would get tabbedex by default, but would probably get an
outdated version - the release schedule of tabbedex likely doesn't match the
release cycle of urxvt for example.

the only two ways to improve the rxvt<->tabbedex combination I can think of
at the moment would be:

a) the urxvt and tabbedex maintainers "merge", so it's just one project.
b) urxvt more prominently refers to tabbedex, for example by giving a
   recipe to download and use it easily.
