Is it worth the base-files maintainer providing a default .vimrc file that
gets installed alongside all the other default .*rc files for new users?
My understanding of this issue is that it is not the compilation of vim
that differs from typical Linux distros, but our selection of default rc
file settings (or lack thereof).
