Originally I was planning on doing the failed-boot detect only for F30, but I agree it makes sense to have it for F29 and this will also give us some field testing of this while we still have a fallback in the form of the 1 sec wait for ESC / F8.
Do please make sure that: 1. there is a way to demand the next boot will provide the full boot menu with working display and keyboard 2. there is a way to demand all boots provide the full boot menu with working display and keyboard 3. those ways are easily discoverable by laymen (typically, a notice on the default gfx or cli login screen) 4. you check every single bit needed to use them works before declaring a boot successful
As long as everything works, quick boot implementations are awesome, but too many of those forget about failure modes, and expect you to type a magic key during a microsecond window, documented in text that stops being displayed before the display ends its initialization.
