That explains why Yaakov did this. I assume Yaakov is a Fedora user.

As a long time vi user (>25 years) and a Debian-based Linux user
(Debian uses alternatives) I am used to type "vi", so I added the
alias. But on our new server my colleague had to add the alias the
other way around because there we have only vim-minimal installed and
he is used to type "vim". So we always need an alias ;-)

Frank
