Basically it is okay, as I understand there are some situations where boot 
once is invaluable.

But I still hope more discussion. This kind of feature is not GRUB's way 
actually -- GRUB is intended to manage things at run time rather than at 
installation time. And, from my point of view, those who want the feature 
look like thinking only of "how to mimic LILO". I feel there should be a good 
way to mix the feature with GRUB's other parts smoothly.

As you know, we shouldn't accept any patch without any infomation on how it is 
useful.
