My reckoning (with no basis in fact or writing) is that it's much the same as the decision to develop xsplash rather than go with plymouth; with GNOME3 being added to oneiric we'll likely see another change of direction. After all, Unity is essentially gnome-shell with a global menu (oh, and a visible system tray, which is useful).
