I've had it happen, but don't remember what system. FreeBSD, for
example, makes a distinction between vi and vim, vim being in /usr/local
if installed--one doesn't want to symlink, because in FreeBSD's case,
/usr is not mounted if booted in single user mode.
I wouldn't even consider it a bug. This way, users preferring the
sparser vi can use it and those who prefer vim can make an alias in
their .bash_profile.
