It really has been for a while. SCFG, Echocfg, umonitor, uedit, etc that use the ciolib look better and work a bit better when using a graphical window rather than a curses console.

It's little things, like ESC have a pause before the program reacts and the like.

So it's "recommended" but not required? Just making sure as I never want to be forced to install X on a server. :)

For building libmozjs. Not sure if Python3 could work, but I think the Mozilla build scripts look explicitly for Python2.
