Hope you don't mind my serious answer to your ironic question.
@Quexos, I don't mind at all
From the devices displayed in store, I knew that there was going to be a black line. When I bought the Mini, once again from the devices displayed I knew that there was going to be a space (same as on the 650 but not black) just for the menu/page number. I also knew that all the Kobo family was behaving the same way.
Maybe this is why I'm little surprised when I see here people complaining about Kobo's bottom menu. But seeing different point of view helps me understand* how other people feel about their ereaders.
* understand doesn't mean agree

@ everyone with a (beloved) Kobo
No one is going to make anyone changes his/her point of view here. I feel as if everyone's ideas regarding the top space, bottom space and screen real estate had been stated loud and clear. No doubt Kobo devs can find all the feedbacks they may be looking for (and much more, I guess ).
Can't we all agree to disagree and try to talk about other things provided or even broken by this update? I've swichted to it this afternoon, so it will be all fresh to me tonight.

Note for the new Kobo users: maybe people were not pleased by the 2.3.x (was it 1 or 2?) update. So they manually downgraded to the previous firmware, sometimes older than the previous one, and when 2.4.0 rolled out they happily updated their Mini/Touch/Glo. That can be a temporary solution for you, can't it?
