We can try to open a ticket upstream, with the goal of convincing the
upstream to maintain stable branches with cve backports, or at least
getting a statement on the subject out of them.

At the same time, I'd drop vim from both meta-oe and core, and if
anyone wants it, they can set up meta-vim, and maintain it there as
they see fit.
