From: James Vega Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:42:02 +0000 Subject: Document Debian's decision to disable modelines by default Modelines have historically been a source of vulnerabilities in Vim. As long as it remains a "blacklist suspected/proven dangerous options" instead of a "whitelist allowed options" piece of functionality, Debian's system-wide vimrc will maintain this setting. As such, the documentation needs to be updated to reflect the induced behavior.
