Comment 9 for bug 1574897

Can someone explain to the community why this has gone this far ?

Powerline is not shipped directly with vim, but with powerline (http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/powerline).

How come you solve a powerline problem by changing dependencies on vim package instead of fixing powerline package ?

Forcing vim users to install libpython3.5 is a bit excessive, don't you think ?
