Why does it have to care what console driver you use, and why does it
have to even be that pretty (i.e. arrows, scrolling, etc...)

Also, let me make this clear: I don't _care_ if it ever gets back-ported to
a previous release.  Simply put, the easy at which it is back-ported to
a previous release is an inappropriate thing to consider when designing
a solution to a problem.
