I don't understand how this can be considered at all, and not for the signal part of it:

tty/pty suddenly reacting to Ctrl-T, will be a regression for anything now sending ctrl-T through e.g. an ssh session to some remote process and not requesting no-pty, whatever the use of that might be - and use cases doing that, would then break.

Right?

Presumably there would be a new termios setting to choose the control character, and it could default to NONE.

Ah yes, making it opt-in per session. Got it.
