I would support this move as well, so long as:

1.) The splash can be disabled; or
2.) It doesn't cause weird output during shutdown/reboot

I woud just as soon have a blank screen until the login prompt is
ready--I already use 'quiet' on the kernel line just to suppress some
of the noise.  Though it *is* nice to fall back on when something goes
wrong.
