Comment 2 for bug 1566579

> Could you highlight all the new features (as opposed to bugfixes) in this list so we can properly review whether this is worth the risk of putting it in this late in the cycle?

the "buildable with ruby2.3" was one highlight.

Also, I'm assuming you've done that merge for a reason besides getting a newer and shiny vim, would be nice to describe that too.

no, just needed to forward this to Debian, and the old diff didn't apply cleanly anymore because of the new gtk3 variant.
