There's two ways to go about improving the out of box experience.  One
of which would be to switch "beaglebone" to am335x_boneblack config
which will switch env saving to eMMC and leave BBW just as unable to
have persisent env (outside of uEnv.txt) as today.  Another would be to
bring in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/375824/ (which will be merged
to mainline) and
https://git.ti.com/ti-u-boot/ti-u-boot/commit/b8fce957880e6c4194614260f70be4e7f2c9f469
(which will not, we'll instead get env location migrated to Kconfig
choices and leave it to the user to pick where they want things to be)
which puts everything in a binary file on the FAT partition of the SD
card which is also pretty frequently available.

Either one is honestly a fine improvement.
