Details

As discussed last month, we're replacing vi with vim-minimal on the installation image. [1]

After vim-minimal has been added to the package list in archiso, we can proceed to drop the 'vi' package from the repos.

@Eric: If you, as maintainer of the package, don't want to drop vi, we can instead only remove it from the base group. I don't, however, believe there's any reason to keep this ancient editor around.

No objection from me. I only adopted it because it was an orphan. Just let me know when we can remove it. You can also remove it yourself.
