ic... i do hope we get some kind of vt that will always be tty? i do sometimes require that, when getting too much load and OOM'ing... also, it'd be nice to have as possibility (in the dm) to start a tty session instead of a graphical session (as an alternative) but i guess the important parts are all the other things...
