I agree. I wouldn't mind these folks adding
such new stuff to the distros,
except that (as KDE did) they tend to make them at best default, and at worse
mandatory, removing the features we're used to and (sometimes) replacing them
with "improved" ones. :-(

If anyone else still has plymouth installed and
can check with top to
confirm plymouth is hogging CPU, that would be worth investigating. I can
confirm this on 2 boxes.
I don't get why anyone thinks Plymouth's basic purpose is more desirable
than the bloat it represents, or useful at all. I've never had it installed
on an openSUSE installation unless maybe when it first appeared I didn't
notice to taboo it. If I did, it was too long ago to remember. Anywhere
else, e.g. Mageia, where Plymouth was not optional, plymouth.enable=0 went
on those kernel cmdlines. At boot time, I don't need rainbow fluff and
spindly or no text instead of nice bold, legible white on black racing so
fast it can't all be read.
