I prefer ex / vi to be nvi rather than vim but easy enough to rm linksand re-create them.

No, because, like I said, both CentOS 6's and 7's sudo packages hard-depend upon vim-minimal currently.
Well, having vim on the hdd is not really hurting, it is ~1MB in size.
nvi from EPEL does not conflict with vim-minimal:
$ rpm -qlp ./x86_64/Packages/n/nvi-1.81.6-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
/usr/bin/nex /usr/bin/nvi /usr/bin/nvi.recover /usr/bin/nview ...
$ rpm -ql vim-minimal /bin/ex /bin/rvi /bin/rview /bin/vi /bin/view /etc/virc
So where's the problem? Just install vim and ignore it (I don't like it myself).
