Sorry, but I think you don't. You might want to read Alan Cox's message
on the fedora-test list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-September/msg00314.html
which indicates that the motivation is much more to do with cleaning up
code and APIs. I fact security isn't mentioned.
Now, I'm going to have to go back to the archives, and reread the start of
this thread. I thought that the original poster was asking about doing
so, not about the developers looking to do so.
If I missed something in that, and that was not the original poster's
question, then I stand corrected.
The OP asked the question:
"What is the point of removing the System Consoles?"
after referencing:

Quote:
At this point Colin Walters set off a firestorm of complaints and
queries when he announced[9], as an aside, that "[w]e're going to be
removing the legacy non-X system consoles by default in the long run."
This appears to be related to kernel modesetting, also referenced by
this link in the same news letter:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KernelModesetting
Quote:
"...makes Fedora feel more like a polished, professional product."
More like MS Windows, maybe?
