I think the > point is to not frustrate users who have already decided to try Fedora. Do we have real stasitics on this (somthing in the form of bz reports or comments on a list) indicating that users actually are frustrated with being confronted with vi unexpectedly? Given the initially presented use case (having git-commit or git-rebase pop up vi as the default editor), I'm struggling with the notion that an individual user is sufficiently skilled to use git on the command line, yet struggles to find information on the editor git uses by default. It seems somewhat inconsistent to me. Thats not to say its not a real problem, but it feels a bit like we're taking action on an issue that may not be a problem, at the expense of existing users that like the environment the way it is.
