Hello,
In the past few versions of Fedora, the Vim package (for instance, vim-enhanced 2:7.1.291-1.fc9) is compiled with the "clientserver" option turned off. So each time I upgrade, I'm forced to get the rpm source and recompile vim with this option turned on.
I don't know the rationale for this, because this is a very useful option, and turning it on doesn't really come at any cost as far as I know. I suspect this option would be useful for a wider range of users too.
(For more info, simply start up vim by typing "vim" and use the ":version" command. It lists the features vim was compiled with.)
My question is, how do I go about placing a request to have this feature turned on?
(I apologize in advance if this is not the appropriate list to ask this question.)
Thanks in advance!

You should enter it in fedora bugzilla located at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/

This is the wrong list, this list is about packaging practices and guidelines, not about package issues. If you want more audience than bugzilla (which you should use first), fedora-devel-list would be more appropriate.
