I'm sorry, I'm very busy these days.  I don't know what message you are
talking about, but I still have a lot of mail to read.

I don't insist on changing the default, as long as GRUB behaves
correctly.  I have verified that setting GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console
in /usr/local/etc/default/grub would disable gfxterm, and that should be
OK.

The only problem I see right now is that it's not documented in the
textinfo documentation, so that users won't be able to figure it out
without reading the code.
