== Summary ==

Let's make Fedora more approachable, by having a default editor that
doesn't require specialist knowledge to use.

+1, it makes a lot of sense to default to a usable editor.

The only vi command I know is :q! that gets me the heck out of there.

Does this mean we can stop having things depend on vim-minimal?

I don't think so. POSIX requires some commands to use vi when EDITOR
is not set, so unless you modify bash (and other shells) to prevent
EDITOR being unset, you need vi for a functioning POSIX system.
