My intent was for some Linux beginners, that t y p e very s l o w l y .
For them the fast repeating could cause some trouble. One bad thing is that LILO does not flush the keyboard input buffer, so if you pressed return twice and you would have to insert a root floppy, you'll have to boot again (I'm talking about installation boot disks). Also, In Emacs pressing key combinations like ^X repeat quite easily. On the other hand I would agree that the keyboard's power-on defaults are way too slow.
