In what aspect is that more sane than '/bin/sh --login' ? But the autologin patch is really neat and flexible indeed. PS With modern z/VM the class C version of SEND can do even without being secondary console. If something breaks you have a hard time telling who did it if you leave root logged on there. YMMV
