to the dev: why not rename vi package to nvi ?
+1 to that
Sounds like a good idea, especially since nvi _isn't_ vi in the strictest sense.
Neither was the previous vi, and the package was named vi. I think there needs to exist a binary named vi in the system, for POSIX compliance, but I am not shure. So if there needs to be a package that provides it, there can't be several packages providing it, or there will be conflicts, and one text editor should not conflict with another. IMHO, naming that package vi only seems natural. AFAIK, there is no such thing as vi nowadays, or is there?

Isn't it possible to name the things as they are called and simply set up an alias or something when it hurts to type one more letter?
