> consoled is a replacement aimed to bring a kernel VT component to userspace, aka CONFIG_VT as some people seemed to agree that it has become too old and rusty (not sure if rusty is the right word here) and it does not fulfill all setups nowadays (unicode characters, modern fonts, all locales, etc).
