However, any related changes to the core runtime like filetype detection were committed separately with priority as these did receive a patch number. I discussed this with Bram a couple of times over the years and the distinction was intentional. I don't have a strong view on it but I agree that it's quite confusing for new and casual contributors. <snip> There might also be other unrelated changes > which were pending in the next runtime update > that never happened.

For example, Bram didn't respond to my last emailed update on July 6. Perhaps we should make a request for these to be resubmitted by PR at some stage.
