Hi!
My thoughts are mixed on continuing to support text mode for anything
other than initial boot/install. Linux is all about multiple languages
and the character ROMs for text mode don't support all of these
languages.
On most servers, you don't need (and you don't want) anything like that.
In such cases, everything should be kept simple.
Linux isn't all about servers - but still, a framebuffer is not
"complicated" compared to vga textmode. It uses more
memory, but that is graphichs memory the server can't
put to better use anyway.
