I don't think this is a good change to make. In the event a user is intending to have multiple boot devices, but only one happens to be present due to a failure of some kind then the machine may incorrectly boot into the wrong device. This would make troubleshooting worse. If the user does not want the bootmenu then I think it would be best for the user to explicitly configure the machine to not present a boot menu.
Any further comments on this?
If not, I'm inclined to revert this change.
instead of reverting, I'd say just make it conditional on a runtime config flag, maybe /etc/boot-menu-skip or similar?
