Or just do so automatically, if grub could become that smart.

Well users shouldn't have to understand what a kernel is, much less be
forced to choose between them during boot. We should pare the GRUB
boot menu down to the basics: there should be one entry for "Fedora"
and that's it, one for "Windows," one for each other OS, and no boot
menu at all if only Fedora is present. Offering to boot multiple
kernels throws confusing technical details right in the user's face.
