I'd like to think it can be used other places, yes. But flopping ttys
based on command line arguments is just *WRONG*, for the reasons stated
already.

For example, right now, the user can customize their init system so that
tty7 is a continually updating 'top'. Or Star Wars piped through libcaca.
So, to do this reliably, you'd have to somehow get 'the specifics of how
the init system is configured' into the kernel, which is getting into
ridiculous levels of convolution.
