I agree we need proper drivers, but moving away from vesafb will be
tough... moving away from vgacon is likely impossible for many many
years yet.
Once proper hardware drivers exist, you will still need to support
booting into a situation where you probably need video before a driver
can be loaded -- e.g. distro installers. Server owners will likely
prefer vgacon over a huge video driver they will never use for anything
but text mode console.
