Yes, please, and for more than just ease of use. Adding an intentional 1-second delay to the boot process to give the user the opportunity to press escape is disappointing. If the protocol were that the boot menu would be shown if any key at all were held down, then we wouldn't need a 1 second delay. --Andy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/VEWAONS5D6BP54H637IHOKFXXVOF2R4C/
