Since nanobsd commit probably was the straw that broke the back of
the camel:

The reason why I disable the beastie menu in some of my nanobsd
builds are that a couple of those systems sit with a 2400bps GSM
phone as console connection.

I'm absolutely certain that I am not the person to judge if the
beastie menu is a good thing or not in general, and whatever happens
in nanobsd should not be taken as indicative of anything related
to user-friendlyness as most nanobsd boxes have no on-line users.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
