Comment 14 for bug 556372

I agree with you on the 1st and 2nd part.
It should only be in 10.04 LTS if it's stable. Period.
It would be nice if plymouth could be removed, especially when it's not totally stable.
However I have the fealing that Ubuntu is more or less more testing then stable if you compare it to Debian.
But Debian is a bit too conservative for my taste.

You can disable splash on the grub kernel commandline (remove 'quiet splash' for all messages in a text screen), isn't it?
Then you have what you want also.

I still have to find out what plymouth does exactly...

You could also mention your opinion as an idea at brainstorm.ubuntu.com, then people can vote on it.

Let's stop discussing it for now, here at this place.
It's a buglist, not a forum ;-)

If you find another place where the discussion can continue, I'll be happy to share my thoughts some further.
