Not saying that's right or wrong. Well, I tied up quite a few requests into the new vim packages. Becuase we serve the runtime files with one package(vim) and have other packages(gvim) depend on it, I used to set the runtime path explicitely. Users told me that causes vim to search always in two pathes(the explicite one AND the default one). Hence I started toi stick with the default path, which is /usr/share/vim/vimxy. That means all plugins need to be rebuild and some users that set fixed pathes in .vimrc will have to adjust. -T
