I don't think separating out vim-xxd while keeping vim in OE-core is a significant improvement. There's also the potential to miss CVEs unless we set CVE_PRODUCT to "vim" in vim-xxd, and that will just result in duplication of reports. This also doesn't reduce the amount of time people will spend backporting CVE patches to the LTS branch, and time our LTS maintainer will need to spend reviewing them. So I'd still rather eject vim from OE-core if we can. Best regards, -- Paul Barker
