We have all sorts of packaging rules designed to avoid hitting console
limitations and problems.

Every few months we have people filling bugs because the presence of
two text stacks confuses them and they don't understand why things
working in one do not work in the other (and that's the people who do
fill bugs. they tend to be from asian countries where people
under-report problems).

We have spin teams that do not install the default distro font set to
make room for stuff like the console, and then ask for help because it
broke X text on some locale.

So console support is not free for the rest of the distro. And I'd be
happy to applaud this cost, if someone actively maintained the console
(instead of playing the "touch nothing, if something broke that's the
distro fault" game).
