pcvt will be going away in order to make room for the rework of
the /dev/console and tty unlocking that has been taking far too
long to happen.
As far as I can tell, pcvt hasn't worked for a very long time,
and nobody has shown any inclination to fix it or to assist
with the necessary structural changes to keep it compatible
with -current.
In these days and times, most people who care about the sematics
of the video presentation run X11 anyway.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
