What exactly do you mean by this? Create serial getties even when the install is not done over serial console? Which serial port would you want to use for that? What happens if there is not another computer connected to that serial port but some other device? If an install is done over serial console, we already do keep the serial getty, so I really don't understand what you are getting at here.
