I agree, we should decide whether features like scrollback, "halt", or reflowing belong in st or not. I personally like the idea of having them, as they're the only features I need of screen, and I would be keen to generally not need to run it but rely on my terminal for those functions. But I know in the past scrollback has been rejected as "out of scope" for st, with the recommendation of using screen or tmux.
