Likewise OS vendors are increasingly dropping support for installing OSes via serial port (RHEL, VMWare, etc.)

At leaset with RHEL, you can make your own boot image that gets rid of the asinine splash screen (which is the only 
thing that causes the requirement for a full VGA console)

RHEL installs with a serial console just fine.  You also don't have to
"make your own boot image" to get a non-graphical boot.
