I think there needs to exist a binary named vi in the system, for POSIX compliance, but I am not shure. So if there needs to be a package that provides it, there can't be several packages providing it, or there will be conflicts, and one text editor should not conflict with another. IMHO, naming that package vi only seems natural. AFAIK, there is no such thing as vi nowadays, or is there? Regards.
