And just to add to this thought: Sure, scroll does not reimplement an entire terminal emulator, but still, what I meant is that they have to substantially reimplement many of the functions a terminal emulator has. Added to this, scroll does not yet solve the cutting off of lines on resize. For this, it needs to detect a terminal-resize and redraw the screen, adding more to complexity. We are already at 300+ LOC with scroll, and even if the changes in st are not merely 50-80 LOC to address the two problems I mentioned earlier, they sure will be below 300 LOC.
