True, but after some discussion we decided to keep the code on the wiki:

1. It was real wiki collaboration between 3 or 4 people that moved the tip from 
a
pretty simple and ineffective script to a useful masterpiece. In fact, with a 
couple
of minor exceptions, it's the only case we have of that.

2. It's very easy for bit rot to set in on vim.org/scripts. Once the person who 
did
the initial upload disappears, no one else can contribute. We thought about a 
shared
password, but it seemed impractical.

3. I'm trying to promote the wiki, so I want to keep it on the wiki!
