While I am a vim user, I want to point out that vim 7 was just released. Given the number of patches released for previous versions of vim I expect there to be quite a few for vim 7 and it's many support files. The support cost to keep vim current in OpenSolaris may be problematic as a result. -- Will Fiveash Sun Microsystems Inc.
