No, it isn't. When the kernel is upgraded and grub.conf is modified to account for the new
kernel,
that option isn't added to the GRUB entry for the
new
kernel.
kernel upgrades have never modified the command line passed to the kernel, AFAIK. The template is just copied from the default boot entry.
Then
1) either the template is being miscopied, because "rhgb", one of the options in the original boot entry, was not so copied,
2) or the original Fedora test3 kernel defaulted to using the graphical boot, while the upgrade kernels have graphical boot off by default and need the "rhgb" option passed in order to turn it on.
This is buggy behavior, and simply telling users to add "rhgb" to /boot/grub/grub.conf is the wrong solution, period. Users who can readily do that aren't the ones that a graphical boot is supposed to benefit.
