Maybe because no-one's filed a bug report with this suggestion?

No -- in my mind the consensus is that we take one of two steps:
a) keep ae, but remove the vi emulation mode -- I haven't seen anyone
claim that ae sans emulation mode is good enough. The list seems to
agree, the ae maintainer agrees, and it's easy to implement, so I
suggest this is the course of action we take.
b) replace ae with something else, the only real contender AFAICT
being 'ee'
Dale, do you agree with (a)? Should we just go with that?
