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.
