Comment 25 for bug 556372

Come on Canonical, what's with all the "user's want this and user's want that"? _I_ am a user, as are others here, and this hard depends on plymouth is causing me problems right now. If it's not required (and it's not) then it's not a Depends. This is a bug, plain and simple.

Nobody has given any real reason why it shouldn't be fixed - and it's such a painless, simple fix - so it amounts to sticking two fingers up at anybody who cares about this.

You know, I'm always defending Ubuntu and Canonical, but this sort of thing really smacks of Microsoft and I'm wondering - not for the first time lately - if I'm actually in the right camp here. Is the "server edition" just meaningless marketing drivel?

There's a great many people running headless servers who just don't want to have to deal with plymouth _right now_ and you're forcing us to...why? Because "it's no harm for that to enter the standard set now"? There _is_ a harm _for me_ because it breaks my setup and I have other things to be doing. Please have more consideration for busy admins who made a choice, in good faith, to work with Ubuntu.
