I think that would be better. My .vimrc, as a result of following the = instructions on the vim web site many years ago, starts with: source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim Anyone following the vim upstream instructions will expect to be able to = customise the settings by creating a .vimrc that starts like this and = then overrides the things that they want to be different. Thanks to everyone who's working on this: I recently had one of our = students complain that vim on FreeBSD 'defaults to just plain vi' unlike = the Linux distributions he was working on. I hadn't noticed the = difference, as my .vimrc is one of the first things I copy across to a = new system, but on closer investigation he was right and the fix (for = him) was trivial: that one-line .vimrc. It would be great if people = didn't have to bother with that: if you've gone to the trouble of = installing vim (and typing vim instead of vi to launch it), it's = probably because you want vim, not vi.
