you can test easily enough on a local vm.
previously output of things run in rc.local went to wherever /dev/console went.

that meant if you ran 'echo hello world' from rc.local when
'console=ttyS0' on the kernel command line, you'd dsee 'hello world' on
the serial console.

this is important to maintain for automated testing and I would suspect
for real world use cases where people write some human friendly status
or information from /etc/rc.local.

Title:
  rc.local output does not go to console

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  provided is user-data that should write:
  [stdout] Tue, 23 Jun 2015 20:17:52 +0000 ====== successfull boot 1 =======

  to the console on the first boot.

  currently in wily, rc.local's output is not being written to the
  console, so you wont see this.

  Note, that because of bug 1468103, you wont see it on first boot. If
  this bug were fixed then you'd see it on reboots.
