Because vim is significantly better than any other vi clone currently |
| 5 |
available, and users ask for it whenever it's not available. |

I've just added a local USE to vim. If you USE=minimal then you'll get |
| 8 |
a 430K binary instead of a 2M binary. |

If you really don't want vim, then please use simple vi instead of one |
| 11 |
of clones. It's a 168K binary, which should be sufficiently small |
| 12 |
considering the important role of an editor when installing/rescuing. |
