FWIW, I tried using Plymouth in Liberté Linux (starting it from init.d
and not earlier in initramfs, though), and it was unusable — too buggy
and unreliable with state transitions, unusable console, bad behavior
when framebuffer is unavailable, etc. I didn't bother opening bugs,
since a major part of that behavior was likely due to the
proof-of-concept OpenRC, and other parts like unusable console were
actually documented problems.
