But there's no good drop-in replacement.
kmscon.
$ cat /etc/kmscon/kmscon.conf font-name=Consoleet VGA 9x16 font-size=32
(systemctl enable kmsconvt@tty2)
It even does CJK (which is what fb(i)term was previously used for).
We currently use ksmcon AND fbiterm in jeos-firstboot

As said before, for CJKZ fonts, currently we default to ksmcon with fbiterm as fallback. When this gets around to be dropped please drop us a line.
It's being dropped now - that's what this is saying. There should be no change for kmscon, fbiterm will no longer start. At this point all graphics that you can reasonably use supports KMS which means that the fbiterm fallback is redundant. Thanks Michal
