Unfortunately somebody thinks that showing a useless spinning logo
is more "elegant" than letting the user understand what's (mis)happening.
People do not even know they have to press esc to see things.
A lot of work has gone towards default configurations intended for large
deployments of systems with pre-installed Fedora and users who leave
problems to their IT group. I'm fine with that as I will probably buy one of
those systems from a reseller in a few years.
If you want to "see things", remove the `rhgb quiet` from the kernel command-line.
