Comment 34 for bug 3339

@Colin: Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
I'm also glad to see that Canonical finally understands that it isn't always the best option to bluntly *hide* grub2.
Animated grub2 + plymouth (+ KMS - capable graphics drivers) + gnome 3.x / kde 4.x = a very nice desktop experience =)

Since I haven't heard of any concrete plans of animating Ubuntu's grub2 before this moment, I'll simply assume it will end up happening for Lucid+1.
