 Are you suggesting that the behaviour is appropriate?  That dropping the 
 serial console once you get to a prompt somehow makes sense?
 
 I'm not going to get into a nerd-slapping fight / cock-size contest over 
 this.  Getting defensive and sanctimonious every time a bug is reported is 
 counterproductive.  It's just a bug report.  It's not a commentary on 
 anyone's worth as a developer or human being.  It's simply a problem that 
 should be fixed, because it doesn't make any sense the way it is now.
 
 Either this project is committed to quality or it isn't.  Frankly I don't 
 care which it is.  I'm not going to fight about it every time I file a PR.
