emacs and vi upstreams have the choice to update their software if
they want to keep it installed by default

vi is mostly safe - it's small and has discovered gtk.
emacs is going the way of the dodo because it targets 1995-ish
desktops, and we've not been shipping those for quite a long time. At
one point the hassle of catering for legacy needs outweights legacy
software benefits for most users.
