Why is Neovim shipping bundled libraries?<p>Why is it forking libraries?<p>This is a huge step backwards.<p>What is this? Windows? Why they ship all libraries as part of the project?<p>System libraries are there for a good reason, use them!<p>This has the potential to introduce huge security issues and it should be considered bad practice.<p>Why not use git submodules at least to keep in sync with upstream?<p>I don&#x27;t know about you but this is lame and I&#x27;d rather stick to Vim if this project is going to start forking all the libraies that it will use.
