I always have to point out that a working maintained terminal widget
is the issue - we can fix bugs.

Patches to zvt terminal emulation don't even get applied, because no
one knows how to evaluate them. This means the codebase is dead.

Hinging the big picture on one bug or area of functionality is just
wrongheaded.
