You should have to go to a separate menu to choose a different kernel 
because as you yourself admitted you do not often have to choose an 
older or custom kernel. If they are always displayed when most of the 
time you don't need them, they are cluttering up the menu and making it 
harder for you to choose what you really want from a more manageable set 
of choices.

I hear your opinion on this. We could get guidance on the board from 
this if we can't decide.

Again, your personal opinion is noted. If oldskool is your interest 
though, it might be better to either go with a more oldskool distro or 
install an oldskool looking theme if that is your preference.
