Like Julian and Robert said, please don't break Netgraph.

It still needs to hook into tty at a very low level; and the components 
such as Bluetooth which can use ttys for low level stream processing, 
are built on Netgraph.

Both SLIP and PPP can be built using Netgraph.

Other than that, line disciplines can go away.
