We haven't voted on this, but I believe the majority wasn't against
replacing vim by nano by default and having vim available only as optional
package.
A related question is, what ported software we want to keep in our
repository. We could remove most ports from src/bin and provide them as
(not so) optional packages instead. Advantages would be (a) that it would
make the repository and build smaller and (b) reduce maintenance work.
Disadvantage: The Haiku repository would no longer be self-contained, so
that one would have to download those packages, and for ports to other
architectures one would have to cross-compile the software.
CU, Ingo
