NACK on this kind of inittab change. We intentionally made the code
auto-detect the console based on what the kernel provides.
Please find a way to use this autodetection for login, e.g. by making a
wrapper that either spawns a shell or runs getty.
This would even be a nice way to make this feature runtime-configurable.
