Yes, I would second that.

Well, we have to be careful not to tread on people's toes. For
example, having been told that the new xterm is not XFree86's xterm I
can see why they have a different one. I also notice (cf. my other
message on visual bell turning into an automated reverse-screen) that
it is not entirely bug-free. For example I *cannot* allow an xterm
which flips into reverse mode when you press ESC a few times in vi
loose on the network.
This is surely something which we wouldn't want to release with 2.1 in
its final shape or do we?
Please remember that my point of view is that of a person running a
large number of boxes (100+) under Debian, not a single workstation.
