Who knows? It's not currently built for as many. For hurd-i386, hppa and s390, nvi is a working editor and vim-tiny isn't. I can't remember what counts as support right now (URL anyone?) That's an incentive for nvi over vim-tiny, but nvi is the current anyway and I don't see many benefits of a change. The -devel thread seems to have started with two dubious claims: that vim-tiny isn't much bigger and more prefer vim. I've questioned the size claim in another subthread and surely vim users won't be satisfied by vim-tiny. Please cc me on replies.
