Ed rewrote the TTY system and left out snp(4):
* He didn't thought anyone was really needing it
* Because it reads from a TTY, and writes to another TTY; it would have
caused problems with blocking (full queues, etc)

After a while he got convinced to fix snp(4).
It is now experimental, so only available through his patchset.

But it will make it into HEAD before 8.0.

Ed: Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere
