I will stop distributing Vim builds. After all, there are “official” nightly builds for Windows, built with an inefficient toolset, but “good enough” for most people. (Mine are entirely ignored on the Vim website. I can imagine that they just don’t care about people like me. That’s the only reasonable explanation.)
Can you explain what you mean here, emphasis mine for what I’m referring to?
You’re not mirroring, so why would they link your build?
The only reasonable explanation for VIM not linking to a random guys build of VIM using his own toolchain that they haven’t vetted is “because they don’t care about people like him”?
Thats pretty reasonable?
Idk, language has meaning and I don’t read that as anything but a thinly veiled complaint tbh.
Oh, it obviously is a dig. I’m being a little silly. If we assume “people like him” are random maintainers of random builds of things, and we assume only Official Vim Development reasons, the team would have to reason to care about this project. If they meant anything more, they should have said it 🙃

If you choose to read it entirely literally, they’re not wrong. It’s pretty reasonable that they wouldn’t link to every fork(?) of Vim.

My way too serious glasses were a little fogged, apologies
EDIT: Never mind, I got it now.
This is a email to the mailing list by OP.
They aren’t the VIM dev, they aren’t official, the question here is “who cares if you stop building your own VIM”?
My bad, I misunderstood!
