We do this for several reasons: * it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different from adding FONT=""; * the version of the default font shipped with Arch (the upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[0]; * the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to use that unless anything else is specified. This also avoids a needless call to setfont.

I'd be happy to supply the patch and update the documentation.
