There was something that was not interacting well with my .vimrc, but I just
checked with 7.4 and 7.4.963 and there wasn't actually a change. Either I
stopped using some plugin that wanted a newer version or I misread it before.
"Because its 2 years old" isn't a great reason. There is a list of patches
with a 1-liner[1] for what it fixes, so I suppose for that it would be good
to have those issues taken care of, and also to have our copy of vim more
up-to-date with other distros.
