Depends on the target audience. I'd expect users don't care much, developers probably do. Yes, most of my virtual machines have a serial console too, even if they boot into graphic mode. If I screwed up graphics with a bad virtio-gpu patch it is very useful to have serial console to figure what exactly broke ... > * I'm a *huge* fan of saving disk space on the host.
