Archaic, Apr 5, 12:00 -0600:

If symlinking vim to vi (which tends to suggest vi isn't installed), the vim manpage should also be symlinked. If there are no objections, I'll either do this or ticket it for later.

No need for ticketing, it's already been. Twice, at least:

ISTR some problems with symlinking man pages, the most obvious being that

        for i in /usr/share/man/*/*; do gzip $i; done

will suddenly break things. There might be others.

        echo '.so man1/vim.1' > /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1

would work around this.
