I agree (atleast if Joel can keep the bugs out of devpts.sh :). There are
too many intracacies involved to just have it in fstab since the user
could disable unix98 pty's on a custom kernel, and then see an error, or
mess up the /dev/pts directory, etc...devpts.sh gives better control is
odd situations.
