Parent article: Fedora moves the X server
You've never met a common person, have you ;)
Anyone who is actually likely to drop out of X into a text-mode VT is perfectly capable of hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2. The vast majority of desktop users will basically never ever need to do that (and when they do it's because something about their desktop is screwed up because we failed in some way or another).
This change in Fedora is inconsequential in its impact, but excellent in its progress, and the level of enmity it has generated is hilarious and depressing in equal measure.
