I would like to see some work on the traditional server boot experience.  It 
regressed significantly in Lucid and has gotten some improvement in Maverick, 
but I don't think it's had a good looking over by server admins.  For server 
admins a logo is not what it beautiful.  Information about what's going on 
with their system is what tends to delight them.  Myself, if I'm booting a 
server where I can see the boot it's for trouble shooting and so I like it to 
be a bit chatty.  What is "good" is in many respects the opposite of what 
makes a good desktop boot.

I'm not sure what track this goes in.
