If you choose to read it entirely literally, they're not wrong. It's pretty reasonable that they wouldn't link to every fork(?) of Vim.
The only reasonable explanation for VIM not linking to a random guys build of VIM using his own toolchain that they haven’t vetted is “because they don’t care about people like him”?
Thats pretty reasonable?
Idk, language has meaning and I don’t read that as anything but a thinly veiled complaint tbh.
Oh, it obviously is a dig. I'm being a little silly. If we assume "people like him" are random maintainers of random builds of things, and we assume only Official Vim Development reasons, the team would have to reason to care about this project. If they meant anything more, they should have said it 🙃
My way too serious glasses were a little fogged, apologies
