According to dmesg, Pi (at least 3b and 4) only have pluart, and no com. > This major stealing has been bothering me since a long a time. Should > we try to kill it?

Yes, this is horrible and should get removed - but then existing users of pluart with tty00 would need to change their configuration. The diff I sent uses ttyP0 (P for "pluart") but any other letter would be fine (except for C used by wsdisplay and U used by ucom).
