I'd actually thought about that, but I think there are two reasons not
to.

1) it may actually be a valid configuration, if you really only need
the built-in world regulatory domain, or have a device that provides
its own

2) the [RFC] patch I sent will add a *third* mechanism (and the second
one will remove the INTERNAL_REGDB support) so there would only be a
transition period

That said, perhaps since (2) will probably be significantly later than
this patch there could still be a point in it. (1) isn't very strong
and I don't even preserve that after (2).
