+
+  The vim ports have been completely reworked to take advantage of flavors.
+
+  The biggest change is that the `vim' package is now console-only. If
+  you want the GTk3 GUI, you'll need to install the `vim-gtk3' package
+  instead. All the GUI toolkits have their own package now: vim-gtk3,
+  vim-gtk2, -athena, -motif, and -x11. The vim-tiny package still exists.
+
+  Also: only python3 bindings are included now. There are very few plugins
+  written in Perl or Ruby, so there really wasn't a need to bundle those
+  languages with Vim. They still exist as OPTIONS, so you can still enable
+  them if you'd like. Also, support for py27 has been dropped.
