I looked, and I think this is just a change in util-linux package (not the
source even; the pam files are packaged as separate sources) + a note in the
release notes. It's not referenced in authconfig or anything.

I guess maybe we'd also want to remove /etc/securetty to reduce confusion
(since the normal semantics are that missing file = nothing blocked), that's
in setup.

But otherwise, I think it just comes down to filing an RFE and getting the
util-linux maintainer on board. Probably best after this change proposal
gets to FESCo — at that point, I'll put this forward as a counter-proposal.
