Indeed, all valid points and I fully agree that nvi-devel is not fit for inclusion in base as it is. In fact, the nvi from base is probably a better starting point (than nvi-devel) to create an editor that is fully compatible with nvi 1.79 and supports all multi-byte encodings. And when you, or someone, else creates such an editor, I will be pleased to remove the obsoleted port of nvi-devel.
