Comment # 21 on bug 1127552 from Jakub Strzyzewski

Hello there,

Five years later it looks like the rest of the stack is ready to re-enable
deferred takeover; would you consider such a change? Currently there is no way
of configuring a true silent boot with openSUSE without using a custom kernel -
and silent boot is one of the least useful things to recompile a kernel for.

If bugs and glitches are still a concern the "unpractical" approach of setting
"fbcon=nodefer" by default is still an option.
