While I agree that tmux is an improvement over screen I think it is already on the bloated side of things. I think session management and terminal multiplexing are two distinct features which should not be intermingled. Therefore I personally prefere abduco[0] in combination with dvtm[1]. In general I would like to see toybox focus on clean, POSIX compilant replacements of the basic utilities (thing core/find utils, sed, awk etc) instead of duplicating stuff like tmux.
