I understand your point of view, it is really annoying for people who know the problem, although as a maintainer I must be cautious about generic/default settings because it influences all users, not just container's users. > > I wonder if typing vi instead of "vim" on my computer has any effect. > I am quite positive > that it had at some point in time but not sure about nowadays.
