Hello,
1) Use case
The "feature" of disabling the menu hide feature when there are several OSes seems nonsense to me.
Use case : administrator Joe in company FooSoft creates hard disk master image for the company's computers, with several partitions (for main OS, alternate OS, dedicated diagnostic/recovery tools, dedicated partition for machine re-image from hard disk), all selectable through the main grub menu. To avoid confusing users, he wants to hide the menu (like with older grub versions).
2) Current stats
The patch from comment #7 does not apply in 12.04. Patch from comment #10 looks like it can be applied as-is on 12.04.
Is the (in-text) patch from comment #10 considered clean ? Can it break some features in some cases ?
