On Feb 16th, Bram Moolenaar wrote on the vim-use ML:
"The recent (and ongoing) outage of the Vim website on SourceForge shows

Nothing is forever, and a FOSS site which is floundering at the hands of

The last rodent off a sinking ship will have the wettest pelt, despite
having to run the fastest. So long as our stuff is backed up elsewhere,
we won't go down with the ship, I figure. A contingency plan seems the
absolute minimum requirement at this stage.
