IIRC, Fedora is the only distro I've installed since the first appearance of 
KMS in which the bootloader menu didn't have at least two entries, the latter 
of which including nomodeset on kernel line in addition to whatever else 
constitutes "failsafe" mode. My guess is it's the easiest approach to 
avoiding the OP's problem. I suspect implementation isn't really an upstream 
issue. nor do I have a clue whether upstream has or would consider a feature 
to facilitate implementation.
