That makes sense; I was going to comment that in the BSD world, pps is
an aspect of a serial device and in Linux, there is a /dev/ppsN separate
device (which is still linked in the kernel to a real device, but
appears as a separate character special device).

I would say "don't do that"; I think everybody expects that the serial
device is first and pps second, and while that is not a rule, there is
no joy to be expected in deviating from normal practice without a
compelling reason.
