Is there a good reason to keep viper-in-more-modes individual from vimpulse? It seems unlikely to me that anyone who uses the former would not also use the latter.
I see two reasons: 1. Some people might want viper-in-more-modes but not vimpulse. Vimpulse isn't stable yet. I don't use viper-in-more-modes, but it's a simpler piece of software and is more likely to be stable. 2. Also, the two projects have two different maintainers. But if Alessandro continues to be too busy to work on vimpulse, then I think Vegard should ask Alessandro to make Vegard co-maintainer or the new sole maintainer.
Also, the extensions in vimpulse may be things we would want to use in these other modes. I don't think we need to integrate the two packages, but I don't think it's worth enforcing a separation.
viper-in-more-modes already adds keys to certain modes to enable Vimpulse visual mode. So, in effect, viper-in-more-modes provides Vimpulse support already.
P.S. Jason: my first attempt to send this message was rejected because the mailing list service didn't recognize the content type of my PGP signature. If it's configurable, you may want to relax this constraint.
I set Mailman Content Filtering filter_action to "preserve". I'd appreciate it if you let me and the list know if this fixed your problem or not.
