Apart from Kurt's comment:

Won't this cause errors to be omitted from the console? I'd much rather
implement a full boot logging using bootlogd, but last time I tried, it
was broken. Redirecting stderr away from the normal output seems
unhelpful, and unecessary.

I'd much rather omit this in favor of a patch that adds proper boot
logging, which is a feature we really need.
