It's a feature.

Nope.  By default (ie: unless you put it elsewhere) ttyv0 is your console,
where important things go.  You can change where things go in syslog.conf.
You could also grab the console with X11, or throw it out of your serial port,
depending on what you need or what you want.

  It can always be used as a bad example.
