My main home system has an SSD, and I'd be hard-pressed to notice one
second out of the boot process (although I don't reboot it often, since
I just suspend-to-RAM).

I don't find saving 1-2 seconds compelling enough to disable the
end-user from interrupting the boot process to choose alternate kernels,
kernel options, etc.  Unless you have a 100% fail-proof method of
detecting failed boots, you're just setting up a system where a stuck
boot is unrecoverable without additional resources (such as a rescue
CD).
