As it stands, one has to hover over the

Not weighing in with any opinion on your propositions but just try
_before_ even a grub screen will show up, but not far before, to hit
"Up" or "Down" arrow keys, or even "Escape", and patiently wait for
what will happen.
I know all that, but several times in the past 24 hours I've found
myself booting the wrong thing.
Increasing _to_ three seconds? Ten is nearer the mark, I think.
Especially for those of us playing with virtual machines and windows
popping up and going away
If I'm sitting at a machine, too impatient to await the timeout, it's
trivial to hit the enter key.
Even better, if I can actually see the menu, I can see whether it's
booting what I want to boot. Often, if there's a dud kernel (it happened
on RHEL4-clone and presumably RHEL4 itself a while ago), it's the
default selection.
Too much bling at the expense of function, I say.
