 Replying to [comment:285 ryan]:
 > The default menu creation was to avoid confusion over why the theme
 showed something and the menus admin showed nothing.  Also, having no
 menus at all present by default was confusing.  Those were the
 motivations, anyhow. There is perhaps a better way to address them.

 IMO, wp_nav_menu()'s fallback function is good enough as it provides an
 optional replacement if the menu doesn't exists. Having WP create yet
 another fallback method makes things confusing. Plus, for those who don't
 use wp_nav_menu() it makes things even more confusing as what's being
 displayed in the backend is not what's actually in the front-end.
