Except it is not a telecom equipment 40 years ago.  Even at 115200 that 
I routinely use on my development systems I feel serial console output 
affects verbose boot time and kernel console debugging output.  I also 
have BIOS console redirection enabled on my systems, and I believe the 
default there is also 115200, and even that is pretty slow.  I see no 
point to stay compatible if it is unusable.
