Exactly.
Let's stop the flame (yeah, its all flame as this is HIS problem, and
we'll never change his mind).

SIMPLE:

Stage3 is the default way to install Gentoo.
Nano is in stage3.
Nano supplies EDITOR.
Sudo needs EDITOR.
Hardcode what we are SURE to have (nano).
Change de default if you don't like it (EDITOR variable or sudoers
file, or whatever of the dozen choices you have).
