It's probably to late for this release, but I guess it's worth asking.
There's a resource in xterm called utmpInhibit:
utmpInhibit (class UtmpInhibit)
Specifies whether or not xterm should try to record the
user's terminal in /etc/utmp.
How hard would it be to add a similar option to console? The major
issue here, I guess, is figuring out a way to make sure that it
doesn't break any programs which use utmp to make sure that a person
is/isn't logged in.
