I did not ask for opinions if this feature could be considered 
annoying or not, I asked for its implementation. If you would have 
read my entire bug report you would have known that I requested this 
feature (1) because I want to boot FreeDOS from a disk image and (2) 
that I currently use memdisk from syslinux-common, but find this 
annoying and believe GRUB2 should provide this feature on its own.
