vim is a 'special' upstream, because:

- they tag every commit with a 'release' tag
https://github.com/vim/vim/tags

- there is a never ending stream of CVE vulnerabilities coming from them

We tried to stick with major versions only and backport the CVEs, but
that quickly became unsustainable. So instead we just bump to the
latest commit, admittedly a random one, whenever new CVEs show up.

The comment in the recipe should be removed or rewritten.
