You are aware this was an F8 kernel in question, and not rawhide, right? I'm
100% in favor of breakage occurring to rawhide systems, and I've been using
rawhide and testing for years, but more caution is required for the releases.
That said, I still think if the kernel fixed significant bugs, and just causes
some users to 'be forced' to boot from a prior kernel.. thats a fairly minor
issue whether it was a regression or not. I would argue that learning what a
grub menu is, and how to boot a prior kernel if something breaks, is a barrier
to entry for a Linux user and should be considered as such.
I would never dream of installing linux on a person's computer and NOT telling
them what that boot menu is doing.
