Ahhh. I guess you mean that revoke() would change to do that. You're right,
I did miss your point.

But that's the point of serialization. Anyway, if init is the only process
opening a tty, serialization would be inherent. But, like I said earlier,
I'm no master of init code. I've just never heard of any problems springing
from this, so I offer a possible explanation of why it seems (to me) to
work.
