From c6b13501bdaf574c3fbcc78742aa18f3fad5f41a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olivia Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:40:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Explicitly add Neovim to the list PR #38 added Vim, but not neovim. Though Neovim is listed as being affected by extension of Vim's slop, Neovim also independently supports AI slop. As of March 11th, there's an AI policy that supports it. There are also some PRs with discussions to the same effect[^1]. I argue it should therefore be explicitly listed, as they chose to endorse slop beyond the bare minimum they get from sourcing vim patches.
