I think this is because the console now depends on the framebuffer
provided by the video driver.  In theory the video driver could switch
back to a text mode on exit and the console driver could then be swapped
to vgacon (or whatever is appropriate) but there is no mechanism for
this currently.

Why is this a problem?
