We _are_ working on separating the EvStack (read - console
input/output handling) code patches from the KGI (read -
kernel video mode arbitration subsystem) patches so that
they can be independantly reviewed.

This is taking some time, as EvStack is still in `pre-alpha'
state, and is a rather new project (only since last October
have we done any kernel work, IIRC).
