Use kmscon as default VT console

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

Fedora plans to replace the kernel console fbcon with the userspace kmscon as the default VT console to improve security and usability. The change aims to provide better keyboard support, Unicode handling, and scrolling, while offering a fallback to fbcon if needed and maintaining some kernel-level components. The document outlines ownership, status, testing steps, dependencies, and a rollout within Fedora releases.
