I'm *not* a developer.
As a user, I will find it extremely inconvenient to be faced with a
load of messages *anytime*, boot, or whatever.
I hope you will appreciate that most distros are trying their best to
mask the boot messages from users, because users do not want to be
concerned with all those mess(ages). How else do you expect that
credits should be displayed?
