silent boot & agetty

Hi;

Following the guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Silent_boot, I've managed to achieve an almost silent boot, with the exception of the following message during autologin with agetty:

xxxi login: root (automatic login)

Apparently this is a known issue with agetty and was fixed in util-linux: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/21

Here's the agetty command:

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear --nohints --noissue -a root %I 38400 linux

The present version of agetty on ARCH is 2.22.2, is it possible to update util-linux to 2.23 to include the fix for this to achieve the completely silent login with agetty ?

Thanks

2.23 is already in testing. What more do you expect?
