Why should it be become mandatory to explicitly specify a font when
starting rxvt in native mode? I've been happily using native mode rxvt
with the default font for a long time.

I don't think it makes sense to now start shipping rxvt with a font
configuration which leaves native mode broken out-of-the-box.
