vt-utf8 isn't installed into /etc/terminfo/ currently, so we'd have to fix |
| 13 |
that. then i could make the default based on USE=unicode. |

as for the generic ttyS0/ttyS1 defaults, 115200 is just as easy as 9600 to |
| 16 |
change, so np updating that. for all the system-specific configs though (we |
| 17 |
have a bunch of arch/system ones), i'd prefer to leave those alone as they |
| 18 |
tend to be tailored to common board-specific behavior. |
