Hmm, if Stefan fell in the trap, there is obviously a misunderstanding :

We aren't merging KGI in the kernel. Not anytime soon. We are talking
about integrating *kgicon* and the *drivers* in the kernel. Indeed, the
support code for framebuffer consoles is already in the kernel (fbcon),
so it just .. adds display drivers for it. Like there already are many
for m68K/PPC/etc.
