New kernel, should be the default (see also hiddenmenu).

Then I suspect  you are in a group that should be watching
the grub directive:

    hiddenmenu

I have mixed opinions about which kernel should boot (new and unknown
or known).  I do have an opinion that the menu should not be hidden.

A hidden menu makes the presence of a new kernel 'invisible'.
This has impact in that "users" will not see that there
is a new or older safety net kernel.

They will also not see a long list of disk space hogs
that eventually should be tidied up.

The FC3test3 clean install default is "hiddenmenu".
