No, thank you very much.
I certainly support the notion of multiple consoles, but I do NOT support
the totally braindamaged notion that this would imply a tighter coupling
between keyboard/mouse/graphics.
I can see multiple mice for the same display, and multiple displays for
the same mouse. In short, there is NO linkage at all between the display
and the keyboard, any more than there is a linkage between the display and
a serial line or the display and a sound card.
In short, I'd suggest tge GGI people reconsider quickly if they really
expect em to ever consider them seriously.

I really don't see any tightness there at all. There's a question of
"echo" in text mode of a keyboard, but that's a fairly separate issue and
should be considered such.
