No idea; smoking is prohibited in SuSE offices, so someone external had to do that ;-). I have not seen SuSE version of bootsplash... I do not want to see. But this way, SuSE has its own crappy bootsplash, RedHat probably too, Mandrake probably too, etc. And now, SUSE will want splash over swsusp, RedHat probably too, Madrake probably too, etc. I do not want to deal with 3 different sets of hooks into swsusp. Now.. Perhaps cleaned-up bootsplash could find its way into kernel. That would at least turn down ammount of crap in distributions. At least there would be unified way to turn that thing off... Or at least standartized hooks for various splashes, so that I do not have to deal with 3 different sets?
