Comment:
Shouldn't have closed it, but I don't think this would get my approval.
> I think the problem is that voids alternative system doesn't have priorities like debians alternative system has. This leads to confusion when vim is installed after neovim was installed and it doesn't automatically choose the one with highest priority (which would be vim).
The alternatives switching just because you install something with a higher priority doesn't sound like a good idea.
> There is no logical difference between allowing this and allowing `bash` to override `dash`. It’s simply not what most users want or expect, edge cases from Debian aside.
External programs depending on dash being dash and bash being bash is IMHO different from a vim fork being allowed as alternative for vim.
