Comment # 2 on bug 987515 from Andreas Stieger

Ismail's comment on the submission: "This is OK by me. Original reasoning for
SLE was vim package was pulling down whole X stack."

Is this no longer valid?

If there was a good reason to do it in SLE, the same reason still applies for
openSUSE. Also in openSUSE I would not agree that having vim pull in X is a
good idea. Also on SLE this would need to change again, would it not?

This package is currently inherited from SLE maintenance. As such we would like
to keep it that way, but this change would fork the package.

Is there a way to fix this bug by different means, e.g. to make a vim without X
support, vim with X support in addition to gvim?

Are you sure you want to fork the package for this particular change?
