Yes, the VISUAL/EDITOR environment variables should still be honored by
these applications. It's only the default fallback editor that is going
to change.

I'm slightly against adding a vi symlink. That suggestion made sense so
as not to break programs that use vi as their default editor. With nano
as the default editor, there's no technical reason to do this anymore.
