Thanks for the reply. Yes, we are not using meta-arago. I wasn't aware that you can make a systemd behaving the same as SysVinit in regard to SERIAL_CONSOLES and spawning a getty. For us the way forward will be to add the PACKAGECONFIG to our distro and be done with. I currently don't see any drawbacks for any of our other machines.
