If it requires some particular command (above > $EDITOR), then it should require that file (e.g., /usr/bin/ex). sudo requires some editor (from a limited list of compatible editors) because of visudo. I'm ok with changing the dependency from vim-minimal to /usr/bin/vi (this path is passed to sudo's ./configure at build-time). In Fedora it was fixed such that the spec file contains "Recommends: vim-minimal" but the "Recommends:" feature is not available in RHEL 7.x. @dalibor Are you ok with adding this BZ to the current (7.6) erratum?
