I have one question though: will this retrocompatibility last foreve= r? =20 If we aren't sure that compatibility will go both ways forever, e.g. neovim will always support vim8 files and vim8 will always support neovim files, I do not recommend making them both use the same runtime directory. I imagine upstream neovim set a different runtime directory so that if they diverge things won't break, and I wouldn't try to merge the runtime directories.
