If plymouth is installed on one of my servers, plymouth gets stuck about  
half the time, and nevers goes away.

One of my laptops, that still has plymouth installed, still manages to lock  
up maybe 3% of the time. On that laptop, plymouth hasn't yet reached the  
annoyance level needed to remove it.

Some kind of a hardware-dependent race condition in plymouth.
