One notable change that was made is that we were able to simplify the
jobs to the point where the number of login consoles is now configurable,
without editing or removing upstart job definitions.

This is done by the ACTIVE_CONSOLES parameter in /etc/sysconfig/init;
the default value is "/dev/tty/[1-6]", which means that mingetty
will be started on ttys 1 through 6. Shell globs are accepted.


I updated from my machine from koji (yes, I know, even more insane than from rawhide)

After plymouth there is no X and no consoles.

Rebooting at runlevel 3 and doing a startx works.

Rebooting at runlevel 3 and doing a telinit 5 works.
