Because several tty_compat changes were committed right before the 
release, and when the problems were pointed out to the individual who 
committed the changes, the lack of action on his part to fix them was 
stunning.  I even filed a high/critical PR, which was apparently 
ignored.  A couple folks have proposed fixes, but none of them have been 
committed to the tree, to my knowledge.

(Yes, the fact that they were even committed when they were in the first 
place urks me a bit.)
