VT are a security hole in the kernel. They are slow and very difficult
to maintain. If you had looked at the logic of the code needed to
handle a terminal (look at terminology if you want to see just the
complexity of writing a terminal), you will understand that VT in the
kernel is a bad idea. So yes, kernel developers are working on making
it possible to remove VT to have it run in user space. And yes, they
are going to rely on systemd and logind as it is the only solution
that make it work. VT support wont be gone tomorrow, but it's on a
sure death track.
