Once upon a time we had great graphics with the sub throwing off flares, boiling plasma, etc. Now the boot animation is, at best, pedestrian. What happened, and was this a policy change that all the WOW was put compiz dancing and wobbling windows, or just a lack of someone to do a "look at that" boot screen?

It's called the "Throbber" (can hear bevis and butthead giggle and make a comment). Looked okay to me, didn't give it much thought until you remind of what came before. Until recently I would see it only rarely being a freedom hater and using the bad nvidia drivers.
Test might not get a lot of response on this, I think there is an art team list. If memory is telling me correctly there was a how to make a custom throbber on the planet. It was a while ago though.

A. Useless rant / flame. The problem has -nothing- to do with Fedora. B. You can enable it (nvidia binary drivers) by adding vga=xxx to your kernel command line. C. ... If nVidia will -choose- to add KMS support to their binary drivers, vga=xxx will no longer be required.

I think you are lost. Yes I knew that and don't care enough to enable it. Just pointing out why I don't see it and therefore never paid it much attention.
It was neither a flame or a rant. Calling you asshat would be a flame or a rant. See the difference?

Come on, guys, this isn't -devel :)
It looked to me like tk009 was just being light-hearted in his original post.

Well, it certainly haven't deserved Gilboa's reply, but IMHO it wasn't much on topic either...
Anyway, I started a thread about this on design-team list [1], anyone is welcome to join if they have anything relevant to add :)

After reading other comments to in this thread, it seems that I misread your original comments as a rant, while it was intended to be light-headed. Please accept my apologies for my previous comment.
