I remember a discussion about Vim files some time ago. I use Vim with the files from Misc/Vim, which are up-to-date and more useful than the files shipped with Vim. I don’t use plugins or external files, so I’m -1 on removing Misc/Vim.

FWIW, Python support in Emacs is muddled. GNU Emacs comes with python.el which is an alternative implementation that shares some features with, but also has differences to, python-mode.el. Many of us hard-core Python Emacsers prefer the latter, but sadly the FSF won't bundle it and a merge has proven impossible so far.

I think I'll replace Misc/python-mode.el with Misc/README.Emacs that attempts to discuss the issue in a neutral way. I'll fix this in Python 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2.
