One works under Debian, the other doesn't. While pico isn't part of
Debian, there is a package available and I still use it. While that is of
no interest to you, it makes a whole lot of a difference to me -- and
since sensible-editor doesn't support it -- I will vote AGAINST this
proposal. It's certainly my right, and my considerations,
whatever they are, are my considerations.
