  Description     : stable, long-term support fork of Vim

Vim Classic is a fork of Vim 8.x for long-term maintenance,
providing a stable, dependable editor, maintained without the
assistance of generative AI tools.

They just had their first release, 8.3.0, based on Vim 8.2.0148.

I'd like to package and maintain vim-classic as part of the Vim team
along with Vim itself and Neovim, if the Vim team folks would be open
to it.
