I was reminded by a post here regarding X11 that I had a question:

What is ttyv0 for, and why, specifically, was ttyqf chosen for this
purpose?

	- could we use ttysf instead?
        - could we not set it to its own device of
	  (whatever, (minor dev) -1)?



Make a hacker happy.  Use a *real* OS.
