If the goal here is to hide the boot messages by default, note that the default kernel command line includes "quiet", which hides most kernel messages and systemd messages.
Apart from that, I'd echo a frequent description I've seen of splash screens: "a splash screen exists so that while you're waiting on the program you actually wanted, you know who to blame for it not running yet". Plymouth makes booting slower for the sake of showing an image and hiding messages. We can optionally hide messages without needing a splash screen, and we should aim to boot so fast that a splash screen would simply be an unnecessary flicker. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
