Yep. WinXP was the last release shipping with cirrus drivers, so, yes,
it'll be a change there. On anything more recent I'd expect you don't
see a difference in behavior between cirrus and stdvga.
WinXP is out of support though, and I see little reason to care too much
here. Especially as this is only about picking a default, not about
dropping cirrus support. If you need it it is still there, and machine
types for 2.1 & older continue to default to cirrus.
cheers,
Gerd
