Is this current kernel problem acceptable? Of course not. But this is Rawhide isn't it?
You are aware this was an F8 kernel in question, and not rawhide, right? I'm 100% in favor of breakage occurring to rawhide systems, and I've been using rawhide and testing for years, but more caution is required for the releases.
That said, I still think if the kernel fixed significant bugs, and just causes some users to 'be forced' to boot from a prior kernel.. thats a fairly minor issue whether it was a regression or not. I would argue that learning what a grub menu is, and how to boot a prior kernel if something breaks, is a barrier to entry for a Linux user and should be considered as such.
I would never dream of installing linux on a person's computer and NOT telling them what that boot menu is doing.
