That's been the case for a few weeks now.  What happened was we were 
hitting a bug with the new F8 theme where things wouldn't scale 
correctly.  There was two ways we could fix it:

1) add a bunch of code
2) remove a bunch of code

It turns out it only had a hard-coded list of about 12 services that it 
would present anyway (also, some of them weren't even useful in fedora 
like RHN, or only useful once like firstboot), so we discussed it and 
decided to ditch the messages.

We don't want to invest a lot of time in RHGB because it's going to get 
retired in F9 for better graphical boot options.

Note you can still get very detailed messages by clicking the Details 
expander.
