Yes, but graphics itself isn't essential either. And I also agree that
sh should be privelegied. But sh is inappropriate for handling
graphics especially advanced ones. What I want to avoid is the
maintainance burden if video subsystem has to work both with and
without lua present. Anyway standard menus even graphical ones will be
available without LUA too.
