Just throwing this out there - I'm not really stating my opinion on this, as I'm fairly neutral.
Considering grub development is basically dead (waiting for grub2), what do you guys think about adding the splashimage patch to our official grub? See grub-gfx in community. I have used it for ages on my machine with no issues. It simply adds one config file variable.
As I said, I'm neutral on this. It kinda flies in the face of the minimal patches idea, but grub is pretty much all patches these days.
Are we sure there are no negative effects to the patch (the patch is pretty big [1]) ? I don't have a strong opinion either, but I'm not sure if/why we should fix something which isn't a problem just because it looks nice, thereby possibly creating new problems ? Douglas, did you ever received messages / bug reports saying grub-gfx did not work for them?
