Comment:
hi there! :) 

i like the idea, but i would make both nano and nvi opinionated in this case. also, putting them next to each other would be a bit better imho :D

edit:
maybe opinions arent even necessary as i know that its possible to blacklist packages that others would depend on, but i have no experience with that...

excluding both would give some ppl some inconvenient surprises, so thats not a good solution, while including only nano would make its fans sad, and i think most of the decision makers here would vote on nvi if they cant coexist...

i believe user experience is superior in this case over squeezing out some extra bits of space, and those who prefer the latter should go much further than this to actually achieve something worthy, and that path would already require leaving behind the comfortable defaults, while i think that including nano isnt that much of a big violation against the name, Void :D

(sorry for the long case-study, i think this may be a sensitive and divisive topic, so ive felt like it can be necessary :D )
