Re: New Vim plugin system (automatic installation of plugins)

Hi Marc,

I use a builtin functionnality for handling automated
installation/update of plugins. It is the :GetLatestVimScripts
feature, by Dr Chip (I say buitin because even though it is an
standalone plugin written in vimscript, it comes in the standard vim
distribution).

I understand that your plugin brings additional features compared to
:GLVS (afaik :GLVS does not handle git/svn), but I just wonder why it
was necessary to do it in a separated new plugin. Could not these
features be integrated in what I believe to be "the standard way" of
doing things? Why does it come as a new plugin and not as a patch to
:GLVS?

Thank you.
Christophe-Marie
