Well, the issue was discussed there.

Well, is the least that people will ask of you when running -CURRENT.
But since this problem has already been reported, there's no longer
much point.

The current status of Vinum in -CURRENT is that it is being
rewritten.  The introduction of the GEOM layer has badly broken Vinum,
and it has been decided better to rewrite it than to fix it.  It'll be
a while before it's smooth again.
