Linda,
It's not a question of "knowing the right way", it's a question of load.
Maintaining one package is easier than maintaining five (or ten),
especially if you're Corinna, who's already maintaining plenty (and many
thanks to her for that). If the users want a choice badly enough, they
can provide (and maintain) the packages themselves. I suspect that most
people who want a choice (in this case) use a hand-built vim anyway...
