+CHANGES WITH 194:
+
+        * If /etc/vconsole.conf is non-existent or empty we will no
+          longer load any console font or key map at boot by
+          default. Instead the kernel defaults will be left
+          intact. This is definitely the right thing to do, as no
+          configuration should mean no configuration, and hard-coding
+          font names that are different on all archs is probably a bad
+          idea. Also, the kernel default key map and font should be
+          good enough for most cases anyway, and mostly identical to
+          the userspace fonts/key maps we previously overloaded them
+          with. If distributions want to continue to default to a
+          non-kernel font or key map they should ship a default
+          /etc/vconsole.conf with the appropriate contents.
