Thanks for the explanation. If that is true, then this change should be more
acceptable than the partly related "desupport all non-(U)EFI systems" one
(which I consider entirely unacceptable).
Still, I remain worried about the details, such as:
* that, if VESA is needed, the VESA mode has to be configured through the
kernel CLI,
* that, as far as I can see, switching to another mode with kernel VESA
requires a reboot (with different kernel CLI options),
* what will happen to the "basic video mode" boot option (as pointed out by
Kamil Paral).
