Comment 13 for bug 62980

The 'vim' command is already there by default (vim-tiny is installed). If you want vim, use the 'vim' command. Vi isn't vim.

In response to Reuben, there is nothing to revert. The 'vi' command has always been this way.

In response to Liegerm, isn't the 'vim' command already there after installing? I know that it isn't the full version, but it is still there and should act like vim rather than vi.

Personally, I think the whole thing is rather silly, but the response I received on -devel seemed to indicate that there was considerable support for keeping 'vi' as meaning compatible mode.
