There may be several reasons why we might want to remove the logo form
the REPL: a fork of CircuitPython that doesn't have the right to use the
logo, an especially small display that needs all the room it has to be
useful, displays that are especially vulnerable to burn-in, maybe even
the smaller chips where we want to save as much flash memory as
possible.
Not all boards have external flash or other components that make them
require 2.7V -- sometimes we can get considerably longer battery life
by decreasing this requirement.
In particular, pewpew10 and pewpew_m4 are powered directly from
battery, with no LDO, and should work fine down to 1.6V.
