"Goodbye" when shutting down the phone: seriously? [answered]
Dear Jolla, thank you very much for making me feel that my phone is talking to me when I attempt to reboot or shut it down. I guess if I wanted a OS faking to be a (silly) person, I would have had installed Windows. I usually do not talk to my phone, neither wave at it when it is shutting down. So I find a bit displaced, and in contrast with what Sailfish OS is, the "Goodbye" message appearing when the phone shuts down. The black screen that used to be there before was more sober.
At least, could you change this message, that does not carry any information, with something more useful? For instance:
"Shutting down..." "Rebooting..." "Restarting home screen..."
Thank you!
IMHO I think that this is a improvement. The Goodbye message is much better than a black screen without any indication of what is going on. It have been a help for me.

Let the people choose themselves what they want to read there. If some need a message like "Shutting down on your command, master" so it be - others may prefer the silent mode without any text. -> Make it available in the settings

As @plemil noted, this is improvement over the previous where the same Jolla-logo was shown on boot and shutdown and now you can tell which direction the OS is going before the red led turns on.
