I agree. All the more reason for the Redhat/Fedora powers-that-be to pay attention, and to listen to it's user base. And yet, instead we get this...

Knowing full well the topic has been discussed ad nauseam upstream, we're pointed back there anyway. I'm a command-line guy, born and raised, so I look at it this way: I install X and the ensuing RH tools for one reason - The hope that, someday, Linux servers will rule my computer room, and everyone else's. Then, I point my Windows-centric co-workers to a graphical console, and, from my chair on the beach sipping mai-tai's, talk them through fairly "technical" changes on the servers. A screwed up, hung, console wrecks my plan for Linux World Domination. And no-one can deny that the X tools have the same basic goal. Usability, even for technical tasks. The alternate VT, kill, restart, is more work for me. The X -config, change zap setting, is more work for me. The server reboot looks bad to everyone. If my employer sees me working more, they buy less Linux - the Windows servers are faster to administer in their eyes.
