I'm not certain that this is strictly a matter for upstream developers
but I thought it worth reporting upstream just in case

I can only speak to my own experiences under Ubuntu 10.10 (x86-64)
wherein the visual transition between Plymouth and GDM is far from
smooth. Typically this visual transition entails an abrupt change to a
black screen between plymouth and GDM. I assume that this affects over
distributions and display managers.

If the following post to freedesktop's mailing lists
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/plymouth/2009-June/000126.html)
is to be believed* this need not be the case. With a few patches to both
Plymouth and GDM they appear to have achieved a smooth transition of
sorts.

I'm not sure whether the Fedora developers approach is technically
desirable, but the current situation which entails a somewhat jarring
and abrupt transition to the display manager is sub-optimal in my
opinion.

*I have no direct experience of Fedora
