You mean that you don't want text based boot loaders? It's just that your
post seemed so certain.

You may not be aware, but there are a select few of us out there that
actually like text based boot loaders or at least an easy way to view the
text upon boot.
Example -- I run Fedora 11 and as much as I like Plymouth, I quite regularly
press the "ESC" key to view the text loading for x reason.
