Vim development is slow, it's quite stable and still there are plenty of
bugs to fix. Adding a new feature always means new bugs, thus hardly
any new features are going to be added now. I did add a few for Vim
7.3, and that did introduce quite a few new problems. Even though
several people said the patch worked fine.
