 Well, since you've opened this can of worms ...

 A system without a working editor isn't fully functional.  Yes, I
know real men can write just about anything in bash, and heroes can
probably write a functional editor with a simple here document, but
adding vim to the boot build for 1.1 would be nice - it
cross-compiles OK with Joe's 2.0 patch, although in my experience it
only works like vi (so, it might need an /etc/vimrc or similar).

 Oh, and _fully_ functional usually means a bit of cblfs (ssh or
nfs, for example).  Where should we draw the line ?
