Seems like this is implictly saying "Fedora" to mean (classic)
"desktop", but
we have different editions now. Further, one of those editions,
Atomic Host, has fully transactional updates via rpm-ostree that are reflected
in the bootloader order today - it's not just the kernel. And we like that feature
=)
I've this on my radar, but I would expect SilverBlue to also not want
to show the menu by default, so although the menu is used a bit differently
the fundamental problems (hide by default, still allow the user access,
pop up automatically on bootfail) apply AFAICT.
There's also a GSoC project to write a boot health check service
that
integrates with this:

Oh, interesting.
