Doing that to reduce memory/process overhead would actually be the only 
real justification that I've seen so far for making a change like this 
(as opposed to switching vt's earlier so you can fade in the mode change).

Why not turn off the getty startup by default and let people who want 
them 'chkconfig' them back on?  That gets you a real benefit for the 
people who don't ever use vts and consistency all the way around for 
people that do.
