| Once we add them older kernels will break,
I doubt that they'd break any kernels - curses using programs using
these sequences with an old kernel might break though.
But I don't think they need to be added in any case - the point of
them existing is so that when using some remote system, with a
terminfo/termcap database that doesn't include wsvt25 (which probably
means anything that isn't BSD based) it is possible to set TERM=xterm
(which is likely to exist everywhere) and get reasonable performance,
rather than TERM=vt100 (also likely to exist, but with poor performance).
There's no real need for the new ones to be known for local use, they
weren't added because anyone was demanding them for any other reason.
