As I am the co-author of the bootsplash, I will agree :p The reason for using the usplash is that it works on almost all computers whereas the bootsplash will revert to the console when anything fails, which happens a lot on newer computers (intel chips are a real problem). I am pretty uncertain as to whether the usplash can/will be made to do more colors for edgy, so I would not hold my breath on that.
