I sent this to Tim, but he's away until May 31. Anybody else able to
shed light on this?

What's the rationale behind this?
Thanks,

I think it's because of cset 13540:5f998c3170f7 (Plumb bootloader I/O
through xenconsole) which meant that there was no sane $TERM to be
passed into pygrub anymore since you can't know the $TERM of the
eventual xenconsole client. vt100 is a good low common denominator.

Thanks, that's helpful. I missed the connection between those
changesets...
