That's weird. I would have expected it to get inserted right after ~/.vim. Where did the "~/Documents/dotfiles" come from? Is that related to your symbolic link you mentioned? I wonder if it actually does cause an impact.

When I download the python-syntax plugin you linked to, :scriptnames shows it being sourced before the built-in syntax files for python buffers:

88: ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/python.vim
89: C:/Program Files/vim/vim74/ftplugin/python.vim
90: C:/Program Files/vim/vim74/indent/python.vim
91: ~/vimfiles/pack/test/start/python-syntax-master/syntax/python.vim
92: C:/Program Files/vim/vim74/syntax/python.vim
93: ~/vimfiles/pack/thirdparty/start/tagbar/autoload/tagbar.vim

And my 'runtimepath' option places the package files prior to the distributed files as well, just after my ~/vimfiles directory (I'm on Windows).

This reminds me, I should really pull and rebuild, apparently it's been a while.
