Err you know that we do *not* hide the grub menu in F19?
no - because i do not care about Fedora defaults in many cases for my machines
If anything you have just proven that just because the menu is shown
people will not automatically know what the options there mean.
no - it is proven that even if it is there it's hard to understand
hide it does not make this better
So can you stop "crying about the idea to hide the GRUB menu
as(by)
default" now?
no, simply because if it is hard to move the cursor down in a
already displayed menu for some users you can be sure that they
never have a chance to learn about the existing older kernel
by hide it
if the affected machine is their only one they also have
no chance to ask for help and are lost
P.S.:
do not give thunderbird a negative karma because some extension
is not updated / rebuilt, file a bugreport for the extension!
