can't imagine that happening unless vim drops some platforms it supports.

Well, at this point in time Amiga and MS DOS should probably go.

They're served decently enough by older versions and I doubt that any machine running those has the resources for features provided by newer Vim versions. Even if they do, the OS support for these features might not be good enough.

He did drop some platforms, although nowhere near as many as NeoVim did:

Omitted in this version are:

The 16-bit DOS, OS/2 and Amiga versions, these are obsolete.

The 32-bit console version for MS-DOS/Windows 95/98

The 16 bit MS-Windows version
