| +1 from me too. I agree with James. I want a nice splash once I
| know my system is running ok, and I don't want to have to struggle
| to get it. I remember trying splash from community/Aur once long
| time ago, and since it borked my system, I never wanted to get
| back to it.
i wonder why ;)
| If we provide some kind of official support, I'm
| assuming a good number of users would be interested. So +1 for NOT
| activating support by default, but making it easy to get if
| required.
seems we have a polarisation here... some are against it, some are for
it.
can you guys who think we should add this patch please tell me the
reason why it cannot be a fork-package of initscripts but has to be
integrated?
