So... I don't know plymouth.

What does it do better than bootsplash?

From the thread, I can guess it integrates better with systemd and
functions as a password agent for it... right?
I think that's a good point in itself.

What else?
People will need to know why it's worth replacing before commenting.

PS: I really don't care if we have only one theme, as long as I can
plug my own theme rather easily (ie: as easy as it would be with
upstream).

PS2: do consider the nvidia-binary case. Lots of users, not the least
of which is me. I could probably do some testing, not sure I can
install a whole 12.1 in any nvidia machine of mine, but I can install
plymouth on an 11.4 I have with a very strange nvidia+intel combo that
makes bootsplash intermittently fail, and I might be able to burn some
live dvds and test on some other hardware.
