Should the default editor be changed from vi to nano on upgrades to Fedora 33+

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

we have changed the default editor from vi to nano on Fedora 33+.

The change proposal says:

> Will not apply to upgrades.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UseNanoByDefault#Upgrade.2Fcompatibility_impact

However, currently, it does apply to upgrades:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1896707

Should we try to "fix" this by ensuring the default does not change on upgrades? Or should we acknowledge that it does?

(It's currently seems easier to acknowledge it than to ensure it doesn't change, but let's try to discuss this without using that as an argument.)


Changing the default on upgrades is good because the Fedora 33+ experience is similar regardless whether the system is freshly installed or upgraded.

Not changing the default on upgrades is good because users might be surprised by the change.


I lean towards the "change the default on upgrades as well" option.
