Gentoo uses the $EDITOR variable where others may not. You must remember the fcron is 
probably ran on many different linux's, unixs and whatever else.. So you need a 
default in the conf for those systems...

and gentoo doesn't require it either... So technically not all gentoo's don't have a 
$EDITOR variable set.
