Adam, sorry, I shouldn't have said that their packages aren't affected.
Apparently I didn't make myself clear enough, let me try again:

Do we package Vim/NeoVim with modelines enabled by default?  I think
it's generally a good idea to turn potentially dangerous features, esp.
with an earlier history of security/resource vulnerabilities, off by
default -- it does not make packages less vulnerable, but leaves one
extra potential attack door closed rather than opened.
