In the past we tried backporting CVE patches to vim for some time. Then it became clear that approach is unsustainable. But I have a different thought. Let's drop vim from oe-core and replace it with nano :) Benefits: - sane version policy, not that many (probably none) CVEs - it's the only editor that doesn't annoy me :) Nano is already in meta-oe, if you support the idea, can you prepare the patches to move it here?
