Hi Ray. In 2018 there has only been a single response from you to any Plymouth bug on here (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1518464 in June, upstreaming someone else's patch). Prior to that there were no responses from you to any Plymouth bugs on here since 2017 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227736 in December).

Plymouth, when enabled (i.e. the default), effectively becomes a critical part of boot (since any Plymouth bugs can stop boot entirely) and there are in fact open boot-stopping bugs on here.

Having an unmaintained, non-essential component that's capable of and *is* in some cases preventing boot, is obviously a serious issue - it would be better in this case for Plymouth to be removed entirely from Fedora until it becomes effectively maintained again.

Per Fedora's non-responsive maintainer policy (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers), please reply to this bug to address this issue.

Hi Ray. Per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers#Outline, this is the second attempt to contact you, one week later.
