 >>Synopsis:       telnetd doesn't use gettytab %m %r %v %s tags
 
 This feature was Considered Harmful and removed when it was first
 introduced in getty.  The broken version of it that you fixed in
 another PR sneaked in with the sgttyb -> termios conversion.

 Finally commit the changes that make getty(8) no longer depend on the
 COMPAT_43 cruft.  This is supposedly the last core utility that has
 been using it!  (So now, one should be able to remove this option from
 the config files.  Be aware that the last officially released xterm
 however still requires it.)
 
 The getty has been running now for several weeks on my modem line, so
 i feel safe about it.

 Back this change out.  It's just not worth arguing over and any further emails
 I get on this topic will go straight to /dev/null.  This is absolutely the
 last word on this topic you'll see from me.  Too much time has already been
 wasted.

 A useful aid..  Add support for:
 
 	%r:	current release
 	%m:	machine architecture type (i386 for now)
 	%s:	OS name (FreeBSD)
 
 from uname() in banner string.
