In regards to your quote:
"Yeah, it is annoying, but rejecting a change *only* because it is
change isn't a strong argument. With such reasoning there wouldn't bePCs in the first place (and btw. steam engine also works, doesn't
it, yet trains are now using diesel, if they are not using
electricity)... Still I think the changes between Fedora/Red Hat
releases are small compared to differences between
Fedora/Debian/(Open)Suse or between various M$ operating systems... So
either deal with it or decrease the number of concurrently "supported"
releases to sane number.
You know, people who use Fedora (especially those that contribute) often
multi-boot and, frankly, menu like the following one (the kernel
versions are semi-random picks of sane numbers out of my head) isn't
exactly helpful:
* Fedora (kernel-3.6.0-1.fc17)
* Fedora (kernel-3.5.7-46.fc17)
* Fedora (kernel-3.5.7-42.fc17)
* Fedora (kernel-3.6.0-1.fc16)
* Fedora (kernel-3.5.7-46.fc16)
* Fedora (kernel-3.5.7-42.fc16)
* CentOS (kernel-2.16.31.4-35.el5)
* CentOS (kernel-2.16.31.3-30.el5)
* CentOS (kernel-2.16.31.2-21.el5)
* Microsoft Windows
* Memtest"
I am a Fedora Packager, QA/Bug-triager, ambassador, and hopefully soon to be future design team member. I've been running Linux since 2.0.26. These are just my opinions. Do what you will. I have seen nothing but refutation from your side at this point.

IMHO it is broken and always was (at the very least it always annoyed
the hell out of me that fedora release number wasn't present). But
still, currently it is more broken, because grub2-mkconfig writes
sub-menued items, while kernel rpm updates grub2 still using the above
method, which leads to combination of sub-menus and non-sub-menued
items...
Cheers,
Martin
