Subject:   Why is splash in GENERIC?

I noticed the thread a little while ago about shrinking the kernel to
get it on the release floppies (was that here or on hackers?) and splash
seems like a good candidate for the chopping block. AFAICT it's not
required if you don't want a splash screen and the install disks aren't
set up for a default splash screen. I just tried making a kernel without
splash and it seems to work fine, in fact I'm writing this email on the
same machine. Of course, I've only been running this kernel for a few
minutes so I guess something bad could crop up. Is there any reason its
included in GENERIC?
