OK, time to address the elephant in the room: Why is the Splashscreen still a plugin? It was only made a plugin because someone wanted to be a purist about plugins, and there's actually no good reason for it to not just be built into Cordova. I used to think Splashscreens were dumb and were used to cover up bad loading times, but there's a good business case for them since people expect them.
Also, related, Splashscreen on Android needs to be rebuilt anyway. There's numerous bugs with it, and I think adding it back into the platforms might actually delete code and simplify things. I know that we said these exact things before at meetings and wrote them in minutes that we posted here, but I think now is probably good time to bring this up. The only reason I don't want to throw this back into Android is because I don't want crap ton of PRs in Cordova-Android just all about Splashscreen. That said, at least we can get those unit tested and actually make sure that 3 second delays are actually 3 seconds and not some random value, and other things like that.
