Yeah.  I don't really consider that a workaround...  ;-)

I'm sure it does, but not for everything.  I don't think dt uses printf
for much of anything.  vi probably doesn't.

This is always the trade-off.  If it doesn't go into -current, how much
do you think it will really be tested?  Are enough people going to be
using it to test it well?

That's a question.  I don't know.  What if you are using a serial
console and Joe User who isn't in wheel logs into ttyp0 and runs a
homegrown program to draw fractals on the console (legitimately).  ;-)

I'll let someone else talk about /dev/adb and /dev/grf stuff--this will
probably change with wscons.
