There were far too few anyway :P

$ grep '^[0-9]' /etc/inittab | grep mingetty| wc -l
18

Most of distros use default of 6 ttys.
4 is far too few for non-GUI desktop machine and those 2-4 mingettys
don't matter anything on machines made in current century.

BTW, as for ttys configuration - there are still some evil hardcoded
values in other parts of distro, e.g. --with-vt=9 in entrance.spec.
