[Bug 871907] Re: vim should have "set bg=dark" by default

[Mark Russell]

I understand what you mean, Clint.  That's true.  But I disagree on the
size of the two groups.  I'd be willing to bet we'd be exchanging a
large group for a significantly smaller one.  You really can't
underestimate how many people, even technical people, stick with the
defaults.  I think there are way more people using dark terminals on
Ubuntu than light.

Of course, I have no real evidence, other than the fact it comes up at
least once at every sprint I go to.... you start editing conf files on
the projector and someone says:  "hey would you please set bg=dark???"

I'm going to do some informal sampling at UDS next week.  :)
