Comment 14 for bug 454420

Bremm: I think you miss the point. It seems incongruous to me that a distribution which purports to be so user focused (even going to far as wanting to remove boot messages and hide them behind a splash screen, and even not displaying the grub boot info) would take such a large step backwards.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter to me, as I'm perfectly capable of hacking on config files. However, folks seem to want more broad Linux adoption, rather than just leaving it to folks like me.
