Comment about minimum version of vim/neovim #2934

Hi @lervag,

before everything: thanks for continuing to improve vimtex! It's a staple of my editing configuration.

In the last release, v2.15, you said that you would raise the minimum version of Vim to 9.1. Although I understand the reasons (it's important to simplify the management of the software, I know), I am opening this issue as a discussion about the possibility of delaying it to this summer.

A lot of people going with Ubuntu LTS will probably switch to the new 24.04 (which sports Vim 9.1) when the 24.04.1 version is out (this summer), and for now, they (we!) are stuck to Vim 8.2... I know that it's just a matter of saying:

 Plug 'lervag/vimtex', { 'tag': 'v2.15' }

in the .vimrc (or equivalent --- maybe it would be useful to add this info to the main page), but that will push many users out of the testing loop. Unfortunately, the workplace policy forces (well... strongly suggests) the usage of the LTS version, so this is a bit of catch-22...

Thanks for your time, and feel free to close this issue (which is really a query, not an issue at all) whenever you want.
