The vim and gvim packages are very often updated to
development versions, such as the actual 7.0.224. I did not
notice any serious instability, but I wonder if this choice
can cause instabilities in the future. Wouldn't it be better
to stay with 7.0 (the latest stable version, according to
www.vim.org) in current and to push those frequent updates
in unstable, naming them vim-unstable and gvim-unstable?

This task depends upon
The frequent updates shouldn't make you believe that vim actually is an unstable version, I just keep it uptodate when I have the time to do so.
I just try to make it not every patch since the down and upload becomes to much. So I wait for important stuff or a reasonable timespan.
