The logic was that we have an effective "MENU CLEAR" default in 4.06 for
vesamenu.c32, but that isn't actually true... we have it only as long as
the user is *not* using "quiet vga=current", which is what a lot of the
distributions like to run with.
So I think you're right, we probably should revert it.
*HOWEVER*, please be aware that that will not actually bring back the
4.06 behavior of clearing the screen implicitly when vesamenu.c32 is in
use and "quiet vga=current" is not used.
