I don't either, and we are not alone. There's at least one other
person who finds that redundant, distracting current line number a
nuisance. His complaint was that it makes the number column much
wider than it needs to be when you're far down in a large file. Mine
is that it's distracting and ugly.

I'm sorry I wasn't really paying attention when this addition to
relativenumber was being first discussed.

So I guess it's time for me to roll up my sleeves and produce a new
option in a patch and submit for approval?

If nobody wants yet another option, maybe a configuration option?
