Don't boil it down. The reasons are good why we've always done it this way
and should keep the status quo. I haven't seen sufficient reason in this
thread to dismiss those reasons.
_What_ are the good reasons why we've done it this way? Its only tty7
because someone arbitrarily decided to run 6 getty processes way back
when. If someone had decided that 4 was sufficient, then we'd be
arguing about tty5.
At least with X being on tty1 it makes sense since its the primary
terminal for most people.
The only non-"but that's the way it's always been" argument I've
seen
thus far is documentation...which is something that can be changed.
