It should be hidden for final releases, but not for testing and development releases. You may have upgraded from a beta or test release, in which case your grub config file allowing it to be active carried over when you upgraded to final.
Nope. I just downloaded F17 and F16 live CD's, x86_64 and installed each to new clean virtual disks. I get GRUB menu after reboot in both cases.
I have a fuzzy recollection matching the docs that Grub location had something to do with it, at least before Grub2. IOW, on a _system_ with only a single Fedora installation and nothing else, there's no need for a boot menu. With multiboot however, most people expect a choice of what to boot without having to take any special action to be able to make a selection, so get menu by default unless Grub is installed to a partition instead of MBR. Maybe a virtual disk installation is somehow categorized as multiboot by the F18 installer in configuring the Grub2 menu?
