A jpeg decoder and a progress bar manager would never become part of the kernel! splashy proves that this kind of feature are absolutely not necessary in the kernel as it's feasible in the user-space. Move to splashy, it'll require you less work than patching your kernel ;-) I just wonder if one can also put background pictures on the TTY only from user-space...
