[Bug 1258597] Re: Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.

Yes that is possible. Comment out that specific line and it will get
ignored and your boot won't be affected at all (you won't notice any
difference except for no more error message).

If you search for my comment on Launchpad, I copy/pasted my file after I
edited it. And I've been using it like that for months since, so grub*
package updates didn't overwrite my changes either interestingly
enough....
