IMHO, this feature was pulled up too prematurely, especially this late
in the release cycle.

There are outstanding display corruption bugs with the feature
(PR 25765), and I've seen discussion that it may have problems
when using multiple VTs.

That, and it appears that the documentation on enabling and using
the feature is deficient.

I would rather see NetBSD 2.0 shipped without this feature than
with a buggy version of it.  So, we should either back out the
pullup or ensure that it's fixed ASAP.
