Sorry, no. Because, as soon as you ssh from such a console to another operating system, you are now operating under the rules of their termcap entries. Which are not portable, because the push to distribute modern termcap files into all-OS slowed down considerably in the recent years. vt220 is the baseline the kernel is trying to emulate. I am pretty sure such a baseline is more important to people than the fancy extensions. I actually wish kernel code implemented xterm.
