Hi,
well you are not required to use a boot splash. Though I note that
many people want a boot splash. However, if you use a boot splash
at all, you will not see the messages, so how does it matter to you
if it comes out of the initrd?
And of course we want a reliable boot, but that is an orthogonal issue.
And this solution is more reliable than plymouth.
