How would this feature interact with things like /.autorelabel? Would
the presentation of the grub menu in that case still depend on the
previous boot being marked as successful? Is a boot that only does a
relabel successful?

And how about differences between upgrades (I think that the boot
loader is in that case not re-installed IIRC) vs. new installations.
Could that cause issues?
