Because this is not Linux, and the "system" vi should be as close to
the original Solaris vi it replaced.

Why can't you just set that for your user account?  What is the gain?
Remember that the system vi may be used in a limited environment,
such as a serial system console.  Don't fix things that aren't broken.
