Instead of forcing down your opinion down everyone's throats, there are 
nicer alternatives that need attention instead. How about you create a 
patch set (instead of threatening emails) that adds the ability to 
detect a bad boot and have grub prompt the user for an action the next 
time the system boots?

Examples:
"Boot into older kernel?", "Boot with safe graphics mode?", etc.

Then grub can remain hidden by default to provide a nice end-user 
experience and if booting fails a, less technically inclined, user gets 
shown some alternative boot methods.
