For what it may be worth, in my opinion that would be a crippling
regression.

One of the programs I use most heavily day-to-day uses termcap directly
and, while it might be possible to adapt it to a curses-only interface,
it would be rather difficult and would involve at least a little
functionality loss (possibly more; I wouldn't know without trying).
