I agree with you on the utility value of the OK/FAILED message, but I have to disagree that they cause bloat. The OK/FAILED messages seem to use only shell builtins and controls; there are no commands spawned to get that OK/FAILED on screen. If echo -ne causes your system to boot slower than other systems, then certainly it is not Redhat's fault. Further, I didn't see any cat /etc/issue anywhere in /etc/rc.d.

I can understand that is it fashionable to blame Redhat for the silliest of reasons. Binand -- Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
