However, I'm also wondering why the ebuild doesn't make use of the EDITOR variable as was mentioned. This defaults to nano so it should work fine in a default install, and would avoid issues like this which seems to be an arguement that the dev(s) are trying to force specific programs on the users.
I would be hesitant to use a user-specific variable like EDITOR to define the system-wide default on an ebuild. For example, what if my EDITOR was set to gvim or emacs when I installed sudo, then some other remote user tried to run visudo over ssh?
