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.
