I can see the rationale of fixing the default kernel font, but changing the default behavior to one that explicitly excludes a large number of configurations that had worked out of the box before is worrisome. Also, doesn't relying on the default kernel font mean you don't know what font you're actually getting? (I.e., if you boot with vgacon, vs kmscon, vs vesafb, vs (other), you may get different defaults.) If so, I think this might be a worse default than overriding it with our own. (If I've misunderstood what happens here, I'd like to know that too.)
