or you mean symlinking vi to vim... which is fine. the problem is not
so much 'really vi but vim' but more that the whole package was/is
(testing not included) really really screwed up. if busybox was in
arch by default I'd suggest symlinking to that and let people change
the symlink if they need something more powerful, esp since busybox
can provide so many apps.
