But, from the justification presented earlier in this thread, it seems like this change proposal is geared around less technical users who may not know this? My assumption right now is that there are people unhappy with seeing the boot menu and want to not see the boot menu, hence this change proposal. (If that's not true then I'm not sure why we should change the behavior to begin with). If we don't change the default, we should at least make sure they know how to get the behavior we want. And it presumably goes without saying that if we do change the default, we should document what was changed and how to get back the old behavior. I think that philosophy applies even though this is nothing specific to Fedora.
