[Design-team] Fedora GRUB2 boot menu, from design perspective

[Dan Mashal]

Personal opinion from a longtime fedora user:

1) Why do I have to go to a separate menu to choose a different kernel?
Granted, I don't often have to choose an older or custom kernel but "If it
ain't broke don't fix it."
2) It should just be "Fedora".
3) I don't like the way the grub menu looks right now with or without the
theme. I like the old text non ubuntu/debian looking grub menu but that's
just the oldskool person in me talking.
