Sorry, that's hardly a discussion: the arrow on text terminals was
introduced as a side effect of the fringe arrow, and the adverse
effects on text-only displays was never even mentioned. I'm guessing
that no one tried the changes on a text terminal before they were
installed.

So what are you saying? let's ignore the freeze and install anything
we want because the show must go on no matter what?
