Ludwig is indicating that a black boot screen might be acceptable by our users, but the question arises then, what is going to establish that black boot screen ?

With the quiet option the screen just stays black, you only see what initrd prints until a getty or xdm is started. With some cleverness in systemd it could even print something useful if it notices that some service takes extraordinarily long.
This part has been improved in upstream systemd
I think it already does that in verbose mode.
Or when you press esc and you are running plymouth ;)
