"Inconvenient?" How about "idiotic?" "inane?" "woefully misguided?"
Thanks to this change I can no longer reboot unattended after a power
failure, since I have to be sitting at the console to enter something
at the prompt (I use a boot floppy.) That's not inconvenient. That's
just a plain stupid change. Geez, if you don't want to use it, don't
compile it in. Don't mess up the systems of those of us who expect
reasonably normal behavior.
