As far as why plymouth is in @core as mandatory...I don't know.
It certainly doesn't seem like it should be mandatory. OK, some
investigation shows it appeared in comps-f17.xml.in, and annotate

I meant this PR to be for discussion not merge, sorry should have mentioned that. It's OK though; we can test the LUKS path and if things don't work, back it out.

I use LUKS without rhgb on my laptop/desktop systems. It works just fine but sometimes the kernel messages on the screen scroll past the prompt for the luks password and it's not clear the system is waiting on the user to type a password. Other than that, works pretty well.
