Solving this requires AI. For example you can test if /usr/libexec/getty
exists and refuse to go multi-user if it does not, but what about other
kinds of problems that would prevent getty to run? Also putting this kind
of logic in init goes against POLA. I suggest that we close this by saying
you can always reboot to single user.
