I fail to see any irony here.  When I need to get into the
grub menu, it's usually an emergency (or at least highly-stressful)
situation, with no documentation handy, and flailing about
trying to figure out how to make it appear just adds to the
stress and the blue tinge of the air in my vicinity.

What *exactly* is this trying to solve?

IIRC, the patch is to hide the grub menu IFF there's only one
kernel because 'it serves no useful function.'  A number of
people (myself included) have disputed that assertion.  If
the assertion is invalid, the patch shouldn't be applied.
Correct?  That seems simple enough.  Or maybe I don't understand
the process, lacking sufficient Fedora-devel-fu karma.

How many non-tech end users install Fedora straight
from the distro, as opposed to those who install a frobbed
version, with different defaults, from a repackager?
_I.e._, repackagers can set grub up however they like.

Is Fedora's goal to be end-user friendly, tech friendly, or
the all-singing all-dancing Linux distro?
