17 baselayout has not included devpts in /etc/fstab since 26 Nov 2001 and even
18 then, it was commented out

24 the oldest tag we have is baselayout-1.11.15 (released 22 Apr 2006), and it
25 doesn't include it.
26
27 the oldest tarball i have is baselayout-1.11.8 (released 15 Dec 2004) as
28 that's when i took over releasing things, and it doesn't include it either.
29 it hasn't been added since that release.
30
31 so i stand by my statement that very few people will be impacted by this.
