Please check the changlelog for vim, RH backports patches, so on a RH system, vim install will not be the same as the officially released version of the same number.

* many (usually hundreds) of bugs from any earlier releases have been
fixed if one is using an earlier release
* applying patches fixes yet more bugs (currently there are 170 patches
to vim 7.1) (admittedly, I didn't specify how to apply patches)
* runtime files have been updated (generally to fix bugs)
* there are options associated with the configure, such as whether to
have ruby, perl, cscope, Sun workshop, etc support compiled in (see
configure --help for the list)
* if one wants support for vim, there's an active mailing list for it
with many knowledgable folks, including vim's author (see
http://vim.sf.net/ for details)
