36	Virtual consoles overhaul	Martin Decky		"The primitive way how virtual consoles work now has to be changed. The proposal is to:

* Register individual consoles as devices to device mapper.
* Implement a virtual consolefs filesystem, which will export the registered consoles as character devices in the filesystem. The consolefs can also implement other features, such as (unnamed) pipes, etc.
* Change the way stdin/stdout/stderr are handled in libc to support the new filesystem backed framework and inheritance of the input and output.
* A functionality equivalent to `getty` to ""open"" virtual terminals on boot."	enhancement	closed	major		helenos/unspecified	mainline	fixed
