RFE: e3 micro text editor

I have filed a request for enhancement:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111288

Please add your comments to the bugzilla entry to express your strong
opinions either way.

The RFE asks to include e3---which is GPL'd---as an [optional] component
to FC. e3 can use EMACS-, Pico, Nedit, or vi-like key bindings,
whichever the user chooses. The executable code size is between 3.8K and
34K, depending on assembler options, platform, etc. This makes it a good
choice for a rescue environment or minimal installation. 

If e3 were part of the "pure" FC distribution, people would feel more
comfortable using e3 as part of a vanilla FC rescue or minimal
environment.

I came across this editor while working with the LEAF (linux embedded
appliance firewall) distro.

TIA,
Paul
