Hmm,

Just tried recompiling a kernel for 2.1.7, and removed the COMPAT_43
option from the list. Upon rebooting, login behaves slightly strangely:

    login: root
    root
    Password:

    ...

It repeats the username typed in (there was a time when it actually
echoed the password as well - but that was ages ago [2.1.5?]).

I somehow don't think that this login echo behaviour is intentional.
Someone may care to look into it.

Cheers.
