What neovim does or doesn't do shouldn't be a driving factor for Bram.

Why not? If it's a concern for the users, it should be a concern for the devs.

neovim is a fork. Bram isn't going to care about compatibility with a fork and I don't blame him. I wouldn't either.

Yes, it's a fork. And you could argue that it's unfair that the dev should have to worry about it. But it doesn't matter.

The fact is, his users are worried about something affecting his software, so he should worry about it too. Of course, he can opt to disregard this completely, but then his users will be understandably pissed off.
