Thats why I suggested that "hiddenmenu" plus "latest kernel becomes
boots as default" was a safe choice for stable releases, which, I'm
assuming, is what "less experienced user" are probably going to use. 

But then again, "hiddenmenu" should only be set as default (by the
installer) if the user is only using fedora. If Windows and/or other OS
are detected, then obviously, the menu should be visible.
