Heh. Well, that would explain it.

It does seem like nothing compels the installation of plymouth. plymouth
itself is not listed in comps, only:

comps-f17.xml.in:      <packagereq type="default">plymouth-system-theme</packagereq>

but plymouth-system-theme doesn't require plymouth, directly or
indirectly. The only things that *do* require plymouth are
plymouth-devel and sugar-logos.

I'll have to look at F16 and see what changed there...
