It is generally agreed in the computing mainstream that that kind of
assumption will keep unix out of the hands of the common
computer-user. Of course, some unix gurus actually want
this. Assuming that the Debian folks don't have this agenda, and
assuming that there isn't room for two editors, keeping ae on the base
disks is a good idea. Pico, minus the line-wrapping, would be even
easier to use, but I see it's about 6 times bigger.
