Remove default initval for Flat variables #7379

Closed ricardoV94 closed 1 week ago

ricardoV94 commented 1 week ago

Description

This was brought up in #7348. I think this default was present before the support_point machinery was implemented and we used to take a random draw from the prior to decide on the initial point. That has long ceased to be the case.
