I assume there are multiple people willing and able to continue vim development and I think it might be important for that to happen. I just thought it was relevant in the context of that comment to mention the other project.

Whether VIM proper withers and fades away or not, Bram's legacy will live on through Neovim too.
That's a strong assumption. There isn't an infinite amount of developers willing to sacrifice their free time for common good.

I have a weaker assumption - somebody will keep maintaining it, but active feature development is in question.
