Hm, I'he never considered the CLI as an indication of failure but simply
a more flexible and more powerful interface alternative compared to the
boot menu.

IIRC, in grub 0.99 things were this way.

And I am almost always in favor of comand-line interfaces, especially in
such low level situations as a boot loader.

So I'd like to be dropped into CLI but with a timeout, since I reboot the
machine in question remotely in most cases.
