branch is most certainly welcome. However, please consider that these<br>
splash screens have been in the present form for several months now.<br>
To provide this sort of feedback in an inflammatory manner days before<br>
the release is hardly constructive. This feedback might have been<br>
quite useful around UserInterfaceFreeze, over a month ago:<br>
