Oh, please. There is no problem, therefore nothing is being hidden.
We're not talking about an actual bug in the package, we're talking
about a personal preference. 

Are you seriously suggesting that if someone submits a wishlist bug
asking that nvi support the key-combination "^KK" to delete a line I am
required to leave it open forever? Because it's *exactly* equivalent:
the functionality exists, just not in the form the submitter prefers.
