You are talking about hvc console? Yes it has so many users that it is now
something like a console/tty layer extension, but it was never designed to be

I think the hardest part would be to get all users together (for testing and
requirements) and then to find someone that is actually doing that rework. Dont
know if the pain level is already that high?
