+So now that we've (finally) released, we can turn our minds back to\r
+being distruptive.\r
+\r
+I'm not sure what, if anything to do about the vim frontend.\r
+\r
+Looking at=20\r
+\r
+        http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=3Dnotmuch\r
+\r
+There is apparently still some people that use it (although notice the\r
+"Vote" column is 0).\r
+\r
+On the other hand\r
+\r
+=2D The vim frontend is afaik the last thing depending on the legacy text\r
+  output format.\r
+\r
+=2D The plugin seems to be only semi-functional at the moment; in a quick\r
+  test I found a message that didn't display it's content, and one that\r
+  displayed the content, along with "junk" from the internal\r
+  representation.\r
+\r
+=2D There are now several alternatives for people whose only motivation to\r
+  use the vim frontend was dislike of emacs (alot and notmuch-mutt).\r
+\r
+There are several alternative vim frontends floating around in (at\r
+least) ruby and python. I don't if they are better or worse\r
+functionality wise.=20\r
+\r
+I'm considering stopping building debian packages for notmuch-vim, since\r
+I don't see any current prospects for the package improving.  I'm not\r
+sure what the equivalent thing to do upstream would be, perhaps moving\r
+it to contrib. Or, deprecating it and then removing it.\r
+\r
+What do people think?\r
