    Systemd does not steal the console, this is done by plymouth, in the
    same way blogd can do that. It uses a pty and rewrites the messages.

    Systemd does pass syslog to the kernel buffer during early boot. Init
    provides /dev/log. With systemd, the started services usually don't
    get the console connected, but use syslog anyway or the stdout/err
    gets redirected to syslog.

    With systemd the console is not too useful because we start everything
    in parallel. If all the services would put out stuff there like sysv
    did, it would look like a real mess.
