I quite agree to that.

I completely disagree about that. I know how many people delight in
eye candies like children, but why such users need to tackle on boot
loaders? Normal users don't see boot loaders, because their favorite
operating system starts up with no interaction really soon. If they
need to recognize their boot loaders, they are not normal (like you
and me).

I've answered that kind of question zillion times. Why don't you
understand what feature-freeze means?
