[Bug 1050983] Re: Recovery option missing from Grub menu front screen

[Jeremy Bicha]

Elfy, it looks like A is duplicated on the default menu and the
"advanced Ubuntu options" menu, so the recovery option for the newest
kernel is the one at the top of the list.

I do like that there is always an "advanced Ubuntu options" menu. With
previous Ubuntu releases, I'd have to keep an old kernel installed if
someone asked me to make Windows the default boot option.
/etc/default/grub wanted a specific numbered row to boot, and as the
Windows options by default come at the end, it's important that that
alternate menu not disappear like it did if there was only one kernel
installed, as the Windows row number would then change.

So my vote is +1 for the new Quantal way of sticking recovery in an
advanced menu.
