In the early ChromeOS days when they were thinking about which graphics stack to use, the quiet but definitive top manager said, if they picked X11, that he'd better not see any stipple on boot. It's such a funny comment that stayed with me because it really captures how seeing that stipple is such a symbol of "I guess you're booting X11 now", and his insight on how it's not what he wanted the first impression of the product to be.
