No particular comment implies no consensus? > 1. make mount_ptyfs mandatory and run it via mi code (where?) > 2. mount ptyfs in sysinst using c code, and remove all the MD hacks. 3. fallback to mount ptyfs via direct mount(2) in sysinst only when openpty(3) fails, so that poor Tier II ports still use old way without file-system PTYFS and we don't have to touch a number of crunch lists to add mount_ptyfs(8). That's what my PR/47774 intended. --- Izumi Tsutsui
