It is true that I did not give a heads-up for the change.

I believe this complaint and other implications such as nullok_secure
stopping to work without adding /etc/securetty are really minor issues
and should not have delayed the change in login.

Dropping securetty support in PAM  is also tracked at #674857 and Sven
recently raised the issue of the complaint there, too.

Steve, would you like me to do something more in login to help users?
I believed that the short NEWS entry would be enough, but if you would
like to have something else mentioned I'm happy to add that:

Cheers,
Balint
