No, Tom, this is not what ubuntu uses. Ubuntu uses usplash -- which requires special 'hooks' in initrd, unlike splashy.

But, imo, someone who uses arch is experienced enough to set up bootsplash .. I hope arch is not having plans of providing it by default, a la frugalware, ubuntu etc etc.

If this is the same stuff that Ubuntu use, phrakture was looking at it a
while ago - possibly not a high priority though.

I'll have a poke at it myself, purely out of curiosity.
