What exactly does "change the default on upgrade" actually mean
here? Making nano-default-editor a dependency of something else
that people are likely to have installed? Or adding something to
some sort of post install script for system-upgrade that installs
that package?

 From the BZ Miro linked to in the start of this thread:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1896707#c12

Oh sorry I only read the change proposal. I didn't realise this
had actually accidentally happened and I thought it was being
proposed for the next release.

Obviously I missed it by using distro-sync instead of system-upgrade
for my systems ;-)

dnf system-upgrade also upgrades groups, so nano-default-editor gets installed on system upgrades

If I accept our argument then how do I choose not to accept your
opinion and "explicitly override" this choice?

Also from that bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1896707#c13
"dnf remove nano-default-editor". Alternatively, you can set "export EDITOR=vim" in your ~/.bash_profile

Setting EDITOR doesn't really work. I mean I have that but my problem
is always when I'm sudoing and suddenly get nano instead of vi which
isn't solved by that.
