There's definitely not been a blocker bug for it, but thinking about it,
I can confirm the problem - when I installed F13 on this machine it had
Windows XP on it, and F13 correctly set up a bootloader config with an
entry for loading XP, but set the timeout to 0 :/. I just never really
thought about it and realized it was something we really ought to fix
for final.

At this point we're _probably_ just going to be documenting it, I'm
afraid. If not, we certainly have to slip the release a week. If you'd
like to argue for the slip to fix this bug, or at least have it formally
discussed, please file a bug on this - specifically on the multiboot
case, if you open it just against the overall default to 0 it'll
probably get closed quite fast :) - and mark it as blocking F13Blocker.
