Like you know how much development machines I have where this option
is a "must have".

Pressing anything anywhere won't magically add a menu option back -
don't you think?
Pressing 'e' each time and adding apropriate options to get single
user mode is a monkey job - I will gladly hire you for that if it's
such a no big deal for you - will a banana for a day suite you as
payment?

There are many people using PLD who don't even know what option to add
to get to single user mode and googling it is kind of hard when your
system doesn't boot properly.

And this says someone who wanted to replace poldek in favour of yum
and uses upstart (an ubuntu product). Bravo, your hipocrisy is even
bigger than mine.

Keep your private life private.

I don't expect someone who thinks HTML is a programing language to
understand what it means to administrate productive servers and to fix
crucial software on them when someone else breaks it.
