Yea, I've noticed the same problems with grub2, but the recommendation
in that blog to just directly edit the grub config file will get
you in big trouble when you download a kernel update that uses the
"official" update-grub tool and wipes out all your changes.

He misses one of the other annoying "helpful" features where
grub2 persists in disabling the default boot timeout when there
is some problem with booting once. That is horrible in a virtual
machine environment where most of the time you never even see
the console screen, and even though there are 47,621,333 options
to edit in the 67,529 config files, disabling this "feature"
isn't one of the easily editable options.

My recommendation would be to wait for grub3 before changing the
fedora default boot loader :-).
