hi,

on the core images we currently provide a ppp interface that used to be
used for pppd access in 15.04 images and also gives access to
/dev/tty[0-9].

with series 16 the pppd binary was dropped from the core snap and a
pppd snap was added to the store which provides all the ppp
functionality, but the interface persisted in the core snap. 

i recently got a question from a customer about an interface providing
access to /dev/tty0 for certain console messages ... 

this made me wonder if we have any forward plans for renaming
interfaces in cases like the above ...

i.e. it would make sense to rename the ppp interface to "console-
access" or "tty-access" and drop the execution bits for the non-
existing pppd binary from it... do we have any implementation plans,
rules, policies etc for such use-cases yet ?

ciao
