We should really step back from doing anything non-essential with VT settings from the systemd core tools. That meas things which are not needed to log in, or type in a password. The fonts and keymaps are obviously essential and needed, LEDs, key states, repeat rates are not so much. If people need that they should hook up some other additional tool. It's basically the same rule we have for other fancy things too like hwclock and such. Systemd should not make any promises here, if we cannot deliver a reliable an supportable solution here with what the kernel offers us here. > But the VT layer is just so broken that it feels wrong to introduce > more bogus features that don't work well with the rest of the system. Right, I personally know too much stuff about VCs, stuff I never wanted to know, and wasted too much time with it. All the stuff we offer in the core, we need to support properly and we will get bugs for it, and will need to debug and fix them. I really don't want to do that. In short: I'm against adding *any* new non-essential features to vconsole in its current state.
