actually about 5 or 6 MB when you look at the data files vim puts 
in /usr/share

I think from reading all this elvis should stay in the iso_root, jed and 
slang 
can be removed from iso_root but still selectable as editor from menu and 
installed automatically, and vim should be added  as editor to the menu and 
installed automatically, but aliased/changed to elvis for usage within the 
installer.

Does that sound like a good compromise ?

And if jed is removed from iso_root, should it be aliased/changed to nano or 
elvis ?
