Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
through time & continued updates the menu becomes huge & unmanageable for the average user.
Suggestion ; automatically maintain in the menu and in the archives only the current & last 2 versions of Ubuntu.
Obviously, if you have done various updates the newest is working, & the oldest is Redundant - useful life over.
A security issue developes in that users are confused which item to click.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
