See my email of just a minute ago about pam_console.
console.perms is something related with pam_console which, as I said, is only 
a workaround which does more bad than good things atm.

I'd like to see it off-the-tree, but as this is not practical, moving it out 
of sys-libs/pam ebuild could be enough to have it safe for now.

Please note that is not enabled by default on recent systems.


About removing PAM, it's not practical in a recent linux system, but maybe 
when openpam will be enough well integrated on gentoo it could be a good 
alternative as it's way lighter and minimalist.
