It explicitly instantiates serial-getty@.service for serial ports specified by SERIAL_CONSOLES. I'm wondering whether that is still needed. systemd also has a generator [1] that can activate serial-getty based on kernel boot parameters [2]. Is systemd-serialgetty.bb perhaps kept around because the "console" parameters added to APPEND are (perhaps intentionally) not the same as SERIAL_CONSOLES?
