Well an additional exercise may be letting some yast2-modules stay away 
from 'base'.
if i recall correctly DNS-Server or DHCP-Server module are on base.
that's something that should belong to the respecing server-pattern.

for the editor-discussion:

i personally expect a vi to be on every system that has a unix-like 
shell. Even the small embedded linux boxes have vi (as a busybox module) 
I don't care if it is the quite large 'vim' or any other vi - but if it 
is too large for base, that's not a problem. vi is a simple 'yast -i 
vim' away.

i'm very happy with a small-as-possible base install (not default, but 
base) as it makes SuSe easier to install on flash :)

nano is foolproof, very lean and easy to use for anybody. and for the 
simple tasks like editing some /etc/sysconfig it is enough.
