if it ain't broken do not fix it

why should any magical patch be needed if a working for long time
behavior was changed for dying in beauty? i did even not know that
it was changed sooo bad because the first thing i do is disable quiet
and the whole graphical boot

but it was not clear to me that in the meantime the whole menu
was hidden from the users who do not know about this

"adds the ability to detect a bad boot and have grub prompt the user for an action
the next time the system boots" -> if boot fails you want to write to
a disk without knowing what happens what wozld be needed to know that
it failed the last time -> very bad idea!
