What is controversial about this, I don't understand that remark? This might work great on Desktop Screens but I've personally always used laptops with Ubuntu since Plymouth was first introduced to Ubuntu and I've never seen it look all that great on a laptop display.
There is constantly text appearing on bootup and restart/shutdown. In the past when I've Distro Hopped I've seen Suse and Fedora display nice splash screens without any text. Sure it's doesn't affect the system, it's just cosmetic, but it makes Ubuntu look unprofessional and unpolished, it's cheesy as some would say. As big as Canonical is they should be able to put togther staff that can create a clean looking bootup splash, 100% clean on bootup, and restart/shutdown and no text spewing across the screen. To sit back and say it's just cosmetics and not fix this issue is lame, this has been like this since the beginning of Plymouth, so how many years are we talking that Canonical hasn't fixed this? That's a long time for something that isn't that complicated. All we are talking about is displaying and image on boot up and shutdown/restart it's not that complicated. Let's look at Windows 7 & Windows 8 as an example, this is what we are talking about a clean screen. So what's it going to take for Canonical to finally sit up and make this thing look clean and professional? It is true that in certain aspects of the business world image is everything and a First Impression is based upon looks, so I'm not to sure why Canonical has the bootup, shutdown/restart process looking like such crap. I'm sorry but it really does and it really needs to step into the 21st Century with a nice clean look, Professional & Polished! PLEASE pass my comments onto to those repsonsible for this undertaking and let's not take it so lighlty but consider this is an important aspect of computing, making a nice impression at bootup...
