I think the Apache 2.0 licence does that too.

%s/Fedora/Fedora %version/ and I like it better.

However, I think this is trending away from the
'don't show/allow grub menu with single kernel'

This scares me and I would not like to see it implemented.

What is the impetus for this change?  What outside
requests are satisfied by it?  Or is this from internal
developer opinions and discussions with no input from
end users?  (*Not* meant as an insult!)

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?

I consider myself n00b-slapped.  My only defence is my ignorance
of discussions in this area.  Point taken. :-)

Why 'ick'?  If you're playing Rachmaninoff on the keyboard
during the boot sequence, I think it's a pretty clear indicator
that you want to interrupt it somehow.  (Unless you're a cat.)
So I'd count any sort of interruption as a win, rather than
proceeding to a full boot.

When you need to get into single-user mode, the documentation
is probably not to hand. :-)

How about making this a yes/no installation option?  With
a default of not changing the current behaviour?

"Do you want to always see the Grub menu, even when you
only have a single kernel installed on your bloody machine?
Choosing 'Y' will retain the behaviour exhibited by prior
versions of Fedora. [Yn]" :-)
