That's probably a good idea not so much because vi is a "relic of history" 
but simply because it's not a good idea to require a specific editor simply 
because the package contains a config file. Virtually every app out there 
contains config files so imagine if all of them depended on the editor of 
the package maintainers choice. If at all then the dependency should be a 
virtual one so the user can choose to install his/her prefered editor.
