Possibly. However, at least one proposal for implementing that leaves most of the infrastructure intact. > Isn't frame handling already Frankenstein-ized enough between mixing > graphical and text modes?

If someone comes up with a suggestion for how to refactor the display code to make its maintenance easier, I think we will welcome that. But we cannot reject other enhancements because of the complexity of what we have. That complexity didn't prevent us from implementing several display-related enhancements in the recent years, and I don't see why this particular one should be an exception.
