Sorry, but I think we have a misunderstanding here.
We should aim for a solution which enables both ways. With the introduction of 
plymouth also a bug was introduced, because the old behavior was canceled 
without notice. The solution with the keyscript is not feasible, as far as I 
understand, because this would disable plymouth completely, which is not the 
goal.

Perhaps there is a way to stop plymouth without the killall, but I simply do 
not know the cleanest ways.
I think this bug can be fixed without a single line of code, just with a better 
documentation. I would write one, but I do not know the consequences...
