You *could* disable it at install time too, easily. It would likely install
faster as well.

Yes, I know that.

I agree. That's why my proposal doesn't ask anything at install time, thus the
average user doesn't have to confront the issue. As a parallel example, I offer
how xfs/jfs/reiserfs are available, but the user isn't prompted.
In my solution the average user wouldn't be confused at all because they
wouldn't see it--just like they don't see xfs/jfs/reiserfs options.

Well, it would actually save more than 1-2 min. And it really isn't a hidden
anaconda option, it's just having anaconda pass that to grub. Anaconda already
has some support for this, it just doesn't pass it to grub. It may be a simple
one-liner in anaconda.
