There are two parts of at least my request.
The first part is, why should serial driver assert RTS when CRTSCTS is not set and which problem may follow by changing this default behaviour.
The second part is that you are talking about. I don't see for a moment some regular way to preconfigure serial interface parameters before opening the device, at the same time current behaviour creates potentially dangerous RTS jerking during device configuring.
May be it would be good idea to develop some tty control driver which provides a possibility to change default setting of the drivers?
