That's why I'm looking at this being all-or-nothing thing.  If we nuke even
busybox (vi, sed), then we should yank a lot more with _'interactive.'_

Because once we open this _'we don't need text editing'_ argument, or
reducing it by 2/3rds, we're looking at a lot of other things.  _"Wait?!
We reduced Vi to nothing (or next to nothing).  Why is this legacy still
there too?  It's even less important!"_

Kick _'interactive'_ to the curb altogether, or in 1 exam, or an
alternative set of exams.  Let's really look at it.

And get away from this _"My VisualStudio Code** kid hacker beat up your Vi
honor student coder!"_ debate.

**P.S.  Microsoft VisualSudio Code is actually unrelated to the legacy fat
mammoth, so it runs pretty good on all platforms, and is quite useful,
despite the trademark.  It's still lacking some things that are easily done
in Vi though, like ctags (it's equivalent is not well done in many
respects).
