 I'm not speaking of removing the parity capabilities completely.
 However, I'd rather drop most double combinations of them because
 I can hardly see how serial/terminal hardware would do "-parenb
 inpck" (np:ep:), leave alone "-parenb inpck parodd" (np:op:).  Bruce
 simply documented the present state of getty code when he wrote the
 comment in gettytab 9 years ago.  I believe it's high time to revise
 it.  Perhaps the only combination that makes sense is np:ap: which
 used to set istrip without turning on parity stuff.
