I just realized that there was a third option, namely
that the init scripts changed so that the "rhgb"
option was now necessary, when it wasn't before.
Judging from the thread "ok, graphical boot, one more
time" (especially the post found at
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2003-October/msg04131.html>),
that is exactly what has happened.

That means that the way to fix this buggy behavior in
the final release is to have Anaconda add "rhgb" to
grub.conf on install.
