I’m also not happy about using a third-party mirror for vim. Can we be
sure that this is updated consistently and in time? (Is this done
automatically?)
Guix can handle downloading patches, so there’s really no need for
switching in my opinion. “gnu/packages/bash.scm” could be used as a
reference for how to deal with a large number of patches.
