I've been waiting for the PermitTTY functionality for years and there have been several tickets begging for this functionality. This is a *big deal* for being able to administratively create role accounts for unpriviledged users that can't break out into a regular shell (yes, you could change the path to the users ssh config dir and play other games but it ends up being rather non-intutive for another admin to figure out what you've done. It was also rather non-orthagonal that some options could only be set in the authorized_keys file).
Thank you, Thank you to the OpenSSH devs!

Having a tty isn't expected to let you break out of a shell...Although I suppose allowing it presents a bigger attack surface than otherwise.
