Hi Michael, Unfortunately, this won't work for vim-tiny. The vim-tiny package installs an empty $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim and relies entirely on the settings in our vimrc. If we install vim's defaults.vim for vim-tiny, then it errors on a missing syntax.vim. If we install the syntax.vim, it errors for missing syntax files. The only way to keep vim-tiny with no runtime is to skip vim's defaults.vim entirely. So, if anything, perhaps //more// settings should be considered for duplication into our provided vimrc. I'm glad you brought this up, though. I'm going to put a comment into our vimrc explaining why the unusual duplication takes place.

However, it's actually required because of vim-tiny. vim-tiny installs an empty defaults.vim stub, meaning that it only gets the settings that appear in our vimrc.

(In reply to Adam Weinberger from comment #2) Adam, this explanation is good enough for me. Thank you!
