...kinda. In some of my tests, plymouth is getting installed *after*
kernel, which means it's not being included in the initrd.

If you want to be 100% sure:

1) make sure plymouth-plugin-spinfinity is installed
   This is the default plugin, and it pulls in the rest of plymouth.
2) recreate your initrd
   kv=$(uname -r)
   mv /boot/initrd-$kv.img /boot/initrd-$kv.img.good
   mkinitrd /boot/initrd-$kv.img $kv
3) make sure you're getting a fb device at boot
   a) add "vga=0x317" (or similar) to the kernel commandline, or
   b) boot from EFI, or
   c) boot on a ppc (with some hardware)
4) reboot!

Yep. #2 is bug 454435, and #3 is bug 454579. 
See the latter for a fix:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454579#c5
(You'll need to upgrade policycoreutils to get semanage to work first)

Built today, but there's a traceback in anaconda when doing URL
installs. Might have an updates.img to fix it later on.
