I refuse to install GPM on any of my machines due to security problems.
I don't have a problem putting in Bill's patches, but I'm not going to
test them personally.

If they're serious about this, why don't they also cite our lack of
support for vgalib?

This is possibly referring to every item on a menu being assigned an
entry in a keymap somewhere.
