Are there any existing users of it that rely on memory map provided by
bootloader? What if image explicitly requested non-optional memory map?
According to multiboot specification it is valid and bootloader must
either provide requested information or fail load.
I think you have a point. @Daniel, is current behavior a problem for you? Don't you just ignore the memory map in this case?
