A Fedora only system probably should entirely suppress the menu or notice how to get to it.Somebody who is capable of installing multiple operating systems on one machine should easily be savvy enough to remember that pressing shift/esc/space/f2/whatever gets him the boot menu. If you installed multiple OSes and noticed that the boot menu is gone, wouldn't pressing these keys be your natural reaction anyway?My natural reaction would be to curse whoever is making me waste minutes in press-random-keys-to-see-if-you-can-unlock-boot games to "win" a few seconds. I'm pretty sure any poll would find the same result.My natural reaction to the current grub2 menu that steals my boot is that I start to hate Fedora and Linux for that we waste our time in ugly boot menus and bikeshedding about them.
