Are you serious? Really? You must have a very tenuous grasp of OS internals.

Who does this affect?
1) People using the console a lot who also run X (remember, runlevel 3 
hasn't changed). Desktop users don't use consoles, server users don't 
use X (I hope). Only a few species of geek remain.
2) People recovering from X crashes. Bugs. Errors. Things we could be 
fixing and making not happen rather than accommodating this bizzare F1 
fetish.
