Comment 31 for bug 64147

A bug's importance is not a rating of how good or bad it looks - it's
based on whether it hinders your system in working. i.e. if you cannot
use your machine at all because of a bug, then it's importance would
be high or critical. The splash screen makes no difference to whether
you can use your machine or not. It has no performance impact either
so it's "importance" is low. I understand that you'd like it to look
nicer as I would too :-)

(P.S. I agree that it doesn't look terrible professional too.)
