It is, at least for sio devices, but programs that deal with opening connections should handle things related to carrier directly. It can also be achieved by locking CLOCAL so that getty can't meddle with it if it is set initially. I think bidirectional serial devices are rarely needed now, and support for them should be dropped. Most people dialing out use ppp and want it to stay up 24x7 :-). Other features of the cua devices can easily be programmed into the initial state of the tty devices.
