Yes, that's what we've been trying. And it failed. Unfortunately, the user in question is accessible only via IRC and they are now gone. In particular, we tried removing patches and pkg for editors/vim5, without success. > Also see PR 21885 which I just reopened because of your message.

The proposed PR will save them time, everyone bandwidth, and reduce the load on the helpers.
