It throws the code out of Debian. I think that is quite
serious.
I also think that vi is not useful in any world, let alone an
all free world. Who make the decision of what is useful? If it were
me, all vi clones would be out. As well as python. ;-)
Adding subjectivity into something that was hereto objective
is dangerous.
