Not as long as you don't change the value of that parameter to 0. 
Fifteen seconds is probably more than most people need (I find five 
seconds to be ample.) to decide not to boot from the default and press a 
key.  Once grub detects a keystroke, it waits for you to select a 
kernel, do any editing you need and tell it to boot.
