the cross distro tty behavior issue with regard to tty initialization
is a FANTASY. Its is concensus by inaction and a lack of discussion.
People took an arbitrary inittab example and have propagated
it..mindlessly. No attempt at cross-distribution standardization
addresses this as an expectation on behavior.
How the behavior arrived is, for the most part, irrelevant. We have what
we have. Don't break it NEEDLESSLY.
