Some parts of Vim need some more attention than they are currently getting. Some are long-term feature requests that I think should be implemented, some are unmaintained plugins.
One of the things that comes up now and then is that the strongest encryption that Vim supports isn't very strong. Some argue that with a powerful computer (or data center) it could be cracked. I have not ever seen proof of that, but there are better algorithms available. You can use an external crypt somehow, but there are doubts whether this is safe. And it won't work for the swap or undo file. This requires finding a portable implementation that is "state of the art" and has a compatible license. The implementation must make sure that the encryption is not weakened by how the algorithm is used. Anyone interested? -- You got to work at a mill? Lucky!
