This unfortunately means that FreeBSD will not be able to use the next release of nvi as part of the base system. In other words, we're going to have to fork nvi. Yuck.
OR... import Vim and get rid of nvi? :-)
What do you say? 8)
I'm beginning to wonder.. The real question is whether it is a faithful enough drop-in replacement for nvi. I'll alias it on some of my machines and see if it bites me or not.
The next thing is that moving a port to the base system usually has a pretty chilling effect on the package.. Is that going to OK with regular vim users who are used to having a dynamic, regularly updated port?
