Well, I need to hide it for what I think is valid reasons, which are

  * Users not authorized to use the serial boot console should not find it 
that easily
  * There may be other devices connected on the serial port not being that 
happy about grub sending data there.

Should perhaps note that on these devices there is no external VGA or 
keyboard connector..

Our grub config is obviously also password protected.

It is.

If you do not accept the --silent option or a equivalent option then this is 
fine by me. I'll just continue to patch the code before using to suit my 
needs.
