What's the status of this work?  I'd like to see it go into the tree
and be used.

IIRC, it was hung up on the question of /etc/ttys and some discussion
or disagreement on the best way to have that be (re-)read from within
the chroot.  There was also at least one preference expressed for
making the chroot one-way, exec'ing the new init found inside the
chroot, if possible, rather than something that would be exited on
return to single-user.

If differences remain on these points, I'd like to provoke progress
towards a decision and result, please.
