Comment 34 for bug 64147

I know bug reports are not discussion forums, but let me just say that
this approach runs counter to Mark Shuttleworth's stated goal of having
Ubuntu look better than the Mac. I also use OS X and this is the kind of
aesthetic compromise Apple would never make. So this is something I
would have devoted Canonical resources to (usplash is part of main after
all). (Unfortunately I am not a developer but a mere user of Ubuntu,
otherwise I would try to work on this.)
