Hello,

It'd be nice if you could include the following in /etc/vim/vimrc

=================================================================================
$ diff -u vimrc.orig vimrc

 "set hidden            " Hide buffers when they are abandoned

 if filereadable("/etc/vim/vimrc.local")
=================================================================================

It hugely improves discoverability in vim and thus helps new (and advanced)
user to find what they are looking for or find new things. It's unset above but
even if set it doesn't harm vim-tiny, so it's useful for both -tiny and -full/normal.

Thanks for maintaining vim!
