Ohh, I get it! Welp, keeping corfu-terminal or going for corfu-popon now
is a matter of what you'd like to advertise more, the fact that it uses
popon.el, or the fact that it enables Corfu to be used on the terminal.
By your answer I can already suppose that the latter is more important
to you, in which case it makes total sense keeping corfu-terminal.

Aha! You would've beaten me to it! I have a version of flymake-posframe
in my Emacs configuration, which I copied and modified from a repo of
the same name (which isn't on any package archives, FYI) [1]. I could
send you my version of flymake-posframe and I could try yours out to see
which one works best, and maybe we could merge our implementations and
publish it! How about it? I attached my version in this email.

That's great! Thank you for your time on both answering my questions and
developing these packages.

Best,
