Ah, but if X freezes, or there's a keyboard and/or mouse issue--there
are a variety of places where it's useful, especially for a system that
boots into X by default.  

I'm a bit surprised that it's an upstream decision.  Folks, I know it's
the sort of thing that can send people into a rage, but if we start
insulting each other, that is the quickest way to close each other's
minds. 

Maybe if we ask nicely, the Fedora developers can consider changing the
default.

Angelus: 'Dear Buffy...' Hmmm. I'm still trying to decide the best
way to send my regards. 
Spike: Why don't you rip her lungs out? That might make an 
impression. 
Angelus: Lacks... poetry. 
Spike: Doesn't have to. What rhymes with lungs?
