This is fantastic news!  Although I have been using emacs for 25+ years,
I have been using vi longer... and I still have hjkl burned into my
neural pathways as the correct way to move around in a file.  Although
I'm unlikely to move away from emacs for most work, being able to use vi
to manipulate my org files would be liberating and particularly useful
because:

I currently use ssh to connect to my office computer from my Android
phone and then start emacs within screen.  It would be faster and easier
to use vi, especially because the modal system is more suited for the
type of on-screen keyboard you get on these phones.

I look forward to being able to try this soon!
