Why not to change default to use console? I understand that distros
may want background image or other beatiful stuff but IMO mainstream
should remain simple and reliable and in this case using gfxterm at
least on some console is less reliable than old and proven console
approach. I'm ok with providing an option to choose gfxterm but I
don't see why it would be default in mainstream
