No particular comment implies no consensus?

3. fallback to mount ptyfs via direct mount(2) in sysinst only when
   openpty(3) fails, so that poor Tier II ports still use old way
   without file-system PTYFS and we don't have to touch a number of
   crunch lists to add mount_ptyfs(8). That's what my PR/47774 intended.
