Although I do use the serial console on a few of my arch machines I don't believe this should be the default. Many users do not have serial ports or use the serial console. This information is already in the wiki.

Also if this does get implemented I would suggest using a higer baud_rate such as 38400

I don't see a problem with applying this. It'll still be disabled by default, correct?

I would like to revoke my previous comment. I see that it is disabled by default. I must have missed the # (comment) when I first looked.

Yes disabled by default. I suggest baud rate @ 9600 because is the Linux default when you type only console=ttyS0

Added ttyS0 to /etc/securetty for next filesystem package.
