Does it cause any harm to enable it for KVM even when --no-gfx isn't
supplied? I added the ks options to start up ttyS0 to my profiles on
a box where I was working remotely and didn't want/need the graphical
tools. But, the remote side was at a friend's house where he could
easily use virt-manager to view and access things graphically.
Can the two co-exist or does setting console=ttyS0 preclude using
virt-manager? (I don't think we tested with virt-manager since I
enabled ttyS0 on the guests.)

I believe it disables virt-manager usage, need to confirm. (Really
though it would be cool if virt-manager just opened up a text console in
those cases, wouldn't it?)
Personally I'm a console person so I think having no graphics should be
the default, but I hate flip-flopping on options and syntax.
