I was reviewing /bin today and noticed that we do not have an editor there. vim is in /usr/bin. My /bin right now if 5.6M and vim is 1.6M. All of vim's dependent libraries are in /lib.
ARe there any objections to moving the vim executable and the symlink of vi -> vim to /bin? One note is that this impacts BLFS as gvim would definitely link in a lot of graphical libraries, so in that case, we would need to make sure a rebuild there doesn't affect the text mode version of vim. We would need to reevaluate other programs that are installed, vimtutor and xxd, that probably are not needed in /bin. Another issue if we decide to make the change is whether it should go into 7.5 or wait for the next cycle. This is really a minor issue as I think very few people have /bin and /usr on separate partitions any more, but I was thinking "what if".
