I would argue strongly that this change should not be made for the

Does it matter? Seriously, we need to start X on ttyX and start ONE
mingetty on ttyX+1. Loading mingetty on 6 terminals takes time.
Who uses more than one mingetty anyway? Surely the sort of person
comfortable with the RSI-inducing ctrl-alt-Fx is the sort of person that
can edit a config file and increase the number if we provide one by
default.
I was thinking about trying to tackle the boot time of fedora (and get
to the 5 second nirvana), but I fear that bikeshedding like this will
mean we are still loading sendmail, isdn, nfslock, and all other legacy
stuff in ten years time.
Richard.
You are responding to an issue that no one is bringing up. No one is
talking about how many mingettys are launched. On the other hand you are
declaring as a resolved starting point the very thing that is being
questioned. The question is "who gets tty1".
