I recently tested the updated livecd-rootfs that is part of the new live-server image that Łukasz created and put here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/focal/daily-live/20210805.1/

The tests were fine so far, but I observed that the default kernel arguments (as shipped with the ISO images for booting the installer) are different.
It's "quiet ---" on 21.10, but looks like 20.04 daily has "--- quiet".

I think, if we stay with the arguments that are provided today, the Impish args should be changed to "--- quiet" (since I believe the idea here is that arguments that are specified after '---' are added to the bootloader config of the installed system too (that was the case for d-i, and I think it also applies to subiquity).

BUT this ticket is about making the boot-up of the install system (on s390x only) again more 'chatty', so that people who do console based installation, get more messages as feedback, and don't become nervous if no messages are written to the console during boot for up to one or two minutes.
Hence I think especially for s390x we should have "---" as kernel args in file "parmfile.ubuntu".
And that is what the above MP changes:

But I didn't saw that changed in the focal daily.
