Heh, when I first saw this post, I was ready to agree w/ Herbert (feh,
unnecessary eyecandy). Then I went to the page; the screenshots are
impressive. I'd be up for adding this sort of thing, as long as the
impact to users who don't want it (in disk space, memory, and
processor cycles) is minimal. I recently set up a Debian box for my mom,
and she asked about all the obscure boot messages that come up; it would
be nice to have a graphical display that could hide all that.
