1a. bootmenu is dynamic. as it starts it scans all available .conf files on disks (partitions) + for btrfs it is listing all root/* snapshots as boot targets.
1b. each reboot triggered by updated system component is by default set to be booted WITH initramfs phase. this is there since beta2. if even BOOTMENU will be started on this occasion is only question of configuration parameter.

all other points are inseparable properties of solid, stable and failure proof user product. or you read it differently? then express yourself. or even better post patches (for whatever part they would be supposed to).
