I copied vim, symlinked vi to it, in a chroot with just bash and libraries, and both vim and vi work... they can create and edit plain text files, without any warnings or messages that anything is missing. The /usr/share/vim directory is over 20 megs.. much of it is locales, and spell files. It's too much to install to /etc/vim. We can't really expect locales to work properly without /usr anyway.
