This was RHGB which has it's own bunch of issues, which Plymouth was
designed to replace. Plymouth is the way forward, but I agree we need to
be able to display some output of the standard init scripts like in
previous releases. Removing splash and quiet increases verbosity of the
boot sequence but I still see zero output from the run of the mill
server services, apache etc.

This may be just a bug with where the output is being redirected,
perhaps we can leverage some of the work in other distributions running
Plymouth to see if the same issue is encountered?
