Summary: Rotating default boot? Possible feature
Original Submission: As operating systems are becoming extremely stable these
days (even in the MS world), the only times I actually reboot my computer are
to switch to that /other/ operating system. When I reboot again, it's to get
back into my nice Linux environment.
While I do have Linux as default, would it ever be possible to have GRUB rotate
the default boot between 2 or more partitions? Then, by default, it would boot
into a different operating system from what you just restarted in.
Is this a feature that other people would like to see?

I think this could be done by accepting a parameter in savedefault: the name of
the boot section to save as the default for the next boot.
It would also be nice to have a userland utility that sets the default from a
running OS, so you could create desktop shortcuts to boot a different OS next
time.
