Because vim is significantly better than any other vi clone currently
available, and users ask for it whenever it's not available.

I've just added a local USE to vim.  If you USE=minimal then you'll get
a 430K binary instead of a 2M binary.

If you really don't want vim, then please use simple vi instead of one
of clones.  It's a 168K binary, which should be sufficiently small
considering the important role of an editor when installing/rescuing.
