I think the question "Err... Why is gvim now conflicting with vim?" reveals a problem of communication. Let me explain: The news/announce "Vim/GVim 7.2.411 Update" has been published the 2010-04-18 (when vim/gvim landed in [testing] ?). So it's over 19 days now. That's the problem. Even on the website you have to scroll down quite a bit to finaly see that news. Because even for an arch user that follows arch-announce or keep himself/herself updated on archlinux status/news, he/she has certainly already forgotten that news when vim/gvim finally landed in [extra]. There could be a mechanism to remind us, arch users, of the previous news may be. Something non redundant with the already published news. One idea would be that announces for [testing] could be done on a separate channel/mailing-list ? and that announces for core/extra/community are made in arch-announce and on the website at the time packages landed in core/extra/community (1 or 2 days before)? What do you think ?
