However, I'm also wondering why the ebuild doesn't make use of the

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?
I think it should get the $EDITOR variable set in rc.conf
it is set in /etv/env.d - why is that not enough?
Uh, because the ebuild ignores that, too, and hard-codes it.
