Which is why you have ed(1) - both in /bin and in /rescue - and /rescue/vi 
(although that needs a bit of tweaking due to the /etc/termcap problem).

Bear in mind that /usr/bin/vi is over 300K, compared to the whole of /bin 
which is ~950K (if you avoid double-counting entries like /bin/csh 
and /bin/tcsh which are hardlinks to the same file), so you need to convince 
people who think /bin should stay small to let it grow by a third to save 
people learning ed(1).
