[New-bugs-announce] [issue9893] Usefulness of the Misc/Vim/ files?

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

While trying out vim, I noticed that the files in Misc/Vim are very poor compared to what is otherwise provided by the vim community:
- highlighting including 3.x syntax: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=974
- PEP 8 indentation: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=974

Also, the vimrc uses "au BufRead,BufNewFile *.py" style selection, while the recommended modern style seems to use a ".vim/ftplugin" filetype-specific file instead.

Does it still make sense to maintain these files separately?
