I'd say vi/vim needs to be put under /etc/alternatives
No, because that's system-wide.
Vi vs Vim is a personal choice. Also alternatives is for supporting multiple
versions. Say v8.02 versus v9.1 of 'vim' on a system, one being in /usr/bin
and the other in /usr/local/bin just as an example. And the sysadmin choosing
(for whatever good reason) to preference the v9 software over the v8.
Most of us run Cygwin on a device called a /Personal Computer/ that allows us to
make our own choices about OS, desktop UI, services, and configuration. ;^>
How many of you run shared server or administered Cygwin desktop setups?
