But this is a good reminder to run "dnf install vim-default-editor --allowerasing" on my newly installed Fedora systems to avoid the same surprise there.

Zdenek Dohnal explained on server list: 

> The current solution depends on weak dependency system in DNF - default-editor requires system-default-editor which both - vim-default-editor and nano-default-editor - provides (*-default-editors conflicts with system-default-editor as well to prevent both being installed at the same time).
> Then if weak-deps are enabled - DNF sees 'Recommends:' in default-editor and brings in nano-default-editor if there isn't any other *-default-editor already installed. If there is, the transaction is not done, but it doesn't fail the whole transaction -> upgrade-path is okay.
