I'm an arch tester and I'd be happy to test dracut.

It would be helpful if you could create a little write-up on 'how to
switch' from mkinitcpio to dracut.

Just run dracut =D. But seriously, I'll work on a wiki page about this.
Dracut has several man pages too, I suggest starting with dracut.cmdline.

And I assume modules now in HOOKS would move to
/etc/dracut.conf.d/hooks.conf
or similar.


I have not yet decided on the configuration, but I think I'll have something
similar to mkinitcpio.conf as /etc/dracut.conf.

All being well, the kernel package will need to be modified to update

/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/60-linux.hook

to now call dracut.


I'll stress this, dracut and mkinitcpio will co-exist for a *long* time. So,
each will have their own hooks for updating the images.
