On the topic of things that are never quite fixed, is there any good reason why vim and vim-share are separate packages? Would anyone install vim-share without installing vim? It seems we can't ever update them reliably (or at least not with pkg_rolling-replace), so now my workflow, in addition to needing to spawn off a tmux, is to pkg_delete -f vim- share, then run pkg_rolling-replace, then cd /usr/pkgsrc/editors/vim and make update.

The reason that these are separate packages is that you can have separate vim versions -- without X11, with Gtk or Motif interface, etc. They all share (ha) the vim-share package.
