If you add/remove getty lines, you suppose to send HUP to init to handle updates, if you change non-getty lines, it is very rare case. It not worth sending HUP to _all_ processes as done previously. Such connetions will be killed by TERM in any case. To handle such rare cases init must use kvm mechanism to get all process with controlling ttys which will be unnecessary bloat for init. -- Andrey A.
