If we are considering such a newbie user as you describe, I bet this  
user does not know if system update installed a new kernel or not.  
(S)he probably does not know what the kernel is.
So, why do you assume, such a user, having grub menu *not* hidden,  
will guess, that in case of boot problem (s)he should try to boot  
another kernel?

Another thing is:
I like breaking things. A lot. But since a *long*  time (read: couple  
of years) I didn't have kernel crash after reboot on *stock* kernel  
provided by *stable* Fedora release. And with CentOS, this statement  
is even more true, due to the nature of this distribution.
Only problems I had, were with custom made kernels.

So, really, I don't see any problem here. And based on comments of  
other users, I'm not alone here.

regards,
