Boot experience on hidpi displays
On monitors with a high pixel density, we need everything to be rendered larger so that it's legible. The unity team has a plan to address the desktop aspects of this for 14.04, but that leaves the grub boot menu and the plymouth splash screen unscaled. Identify the work that needs to be done for this.
