I think that the higher you make the barrier, the fewer projects
will integrate. non-GUI vim is clearly a useful system component,
albeit not one you use. Brian clearly articulated the GUI one as a next
step-- you should instead support him in this work, and offer assistance
(for example with testing) when he goes on to do the GUI version.
Encouraging people do work in discrete chunks, especially when it
comes to including free/open software, is a good thing. Brian has
done a really good job of setting what we call at Sun "boundary
conditions" and I think we should support that. It means we're more
likely to see a stream of incremental improvement.
