We try to be more compliant with upstream vim: the out of the box path consists of /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after and /usr/share/vim/vim72, where the vimfiles/after one is the more desireable to use because it does not contain version information. The plugins bundled with Archlinux now use /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after and they have been recompiled for that. The whole point of that was, that we never ever have to set the runtimepath again.
