So what you are saying is that the only reason it is needed is because some
distros choose to build DRM drivers as modules.  So as soon as they stop
doing that the problem goes away, right?

I think many people will be very happy to be able to get some visual
feedback on their boot problems.  Having to connect a serial console is
a deal breaker for most people.

As was said earlier in the thread, a proper DRM/KMS driver doesn't prevent that. The only thing preventing that would be:

a) kernels with graphics drivers disabled
b) kernels with graphics drivers as modules that get loaded late.

Please stop insinuation that DRM/KMS drivers can't handle boot messages.
