I'm not sure where you're getting "most" from, or your justification for this
change.
A quick survey here indicates that most workstation/server class hardware has
a single accessible serial port, and embedded boards commonly have 3 or 4.
In practice I'd expect that by far the most common use for serial ports is a
serial console, and one is more than sufficient for that. If you want to do
anything else then you're probably going to need special -serial options
anyway.
