If that's the definition of official endorsement, then sorry, not likely to ever happen.  Demanding 
that the core devs develop with specific tools is ridiculous in concept.  Would you switch because 
someone told you to?  Me either.  I've been using vi(m) for about 20 years now.  My fingers know 
what to do without conscious control.. I don't have the free time nor the desire to retrain myself 
like that.

There's value in just elevating something to the label official.  Bundling with releases.  Including 
on the downloads page.  Increased discussion and awareness.  Etc.
