F12, GRUB, and dual booting irritation

[Raymond C. Rodgers]

Who was the genius that changed the GRUB config updating process?

Up until now, whenever a new kernel update came a long, GRUB's 
configuration file would remain basically the same, which would mean I 
didn't have to go in and manually set GRUB to boot to my Windows 
partition by default every single time. The Windows boot line(s) would 
stay neatly at the bottom of the file, and the "default=" line always 
pointed to 3 (if I remember correctly).

Now under Fedora 12, every update screws that up, by setting the default 
to 0. Now, I thought I had a solution after the previous kernel update: 
move my Windows boot configuration to the start of the boot 
configuration list, so it would be item 0, but the latest kernel update 
proved that this wasn't a solution either: the new kernel boot config is 
now at position  0, followed by Windows, then another two Fedora kernels...

Is there a way to get the old behavior (pre-F12) back with F12? Is this 
just a bug, and should I file it as such?

Thanks,
Raymond
