I've always used "e" as an alias for emacs (which I certainly don't
suggest moving to /bin!), so I'd rather not have the system take over
that name for something of Standard or higher priority.
Is there any reason that nvi could not be moved to /bin and made
eligible for "root default editor" status? The nvi package Depends only
on libc6 and libncurses5, both of which live in /lib. Sure, nvi's binary
is nearly ten times the size of nano-tiny, but if I can still mount my
root partition, I'd rather use nvi than nano.
