Yes, I checked the BTS before replying. I'm just not sure end users having troubles to boot are actually able to work around those issues and to report bugs. (I've at least seen people switch distro instead of figuring out what went wrong.)
That's of course a problem, but I think such issues could be identified and fixed before a release.
Yeah, and race conditions can be quite dramatic, since hanging instead of rebooting or failing to get an encrypted volume's passphrase are a big pain. Let's see how the init system discussion goes and think about it after that? I suspect prodding desktop environment maintainers to see how they see it might be a good idea.
Waiting for the TC decision seems like a good idea. Opinions from the desktop environment maintainers could be helpful.
(Also, ISTR systemd might get some splashscreen features. Not sure if it's possibly obsoleting plymouth, or paving its way forward.)
I have not yet heard about this and a quick search didn't turn up useful results. Could you provide a link or some such?
