If it was planned, I don't think it got very far. Neither LPP nor
bootsplash has been ported to 2.5/2.6 *yet*; I do know that the
Bootsplash folks are working on the port, LPP is strangely quiet on the
subject.
Given Linus' rather public dislike for all things fb (see
http://lists.insecure.org/linux-kernel/2001/Dec/6808.html for example),
I don't see this being added to the standard kernel any time soon.
Of course, I could be wrong... <g> I'd love to not have to patch the
kernel to get this functionality.
I'll be waiting anxiously for bootsplash to be ported to 2.6; the new
kernel has much better support for my Pundit.
BTW, found this as an alternative approach while doing some digging:
