Catching up on emacs-devel, there is a thread on this particular
issue... where Stefan Monnier points to the "Dismiss this startup
screen" button. That button quits the window and customizes
inhibit-startup-window to t. This code seems to have been introduced
in 2007 by Chong Yidong (commit 22a58255).
Of course, I have never seen that button over the years. I find that
your brain learns to filter out splash screens completely after a
while, which incidentally makes displaying them more often
counter-productive.
So, I don't think this changes my previous argument, but it does make
any need to change it less pressing.
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
