I would want the test to remain there, but introduce some checkings before running the test. As test2() is valid under present circumstances, we should retain it as people will keep using LTP on lower kernels. Having said that, i would like to come with a solution where test2() of testcases/kernel/pty/ptem01.c is not run after the planned ttydev changes are merged. Something compile/run time checking to either not to build that part of code and run it. Can we do something like that by checking some glibc/kernel exported definitions ?
