If that is true, then this change should be more acceptable than the partly related "desupport all non-(U)EFI systems" one (which I consider entirely unacceptable). Still, I remain worried about the details, such as: * that, if VESA is needed, the VESA mode has to be configured through the kernel CLI, * that, as far as I can see, switching to another mode with kernel VESA requires a reboot (with different kernel CLI options), * what will happen to the "basic video mode" boot option (as pointed out by Kamil Paral).
