  Yeh, that makes sense - plus its very easy to add to dracut.conf


Yes. dracut supports /etc/dracut.d, so there's where they recommend to put
settings.

  Been thinking about that - I've switched to building without -H and
not creating a fallback image - I've also switched to signing all
modules (in and out of tree).

  Not sure what value a fallback image actualy provides at this point?
It takes more space and I don't see it adding much value.


While I agree that they might not be needed that much, it's a good thing to
have, even if you don't use it. I can ship with it enabled and then users can
remove it.


  I that that we would be better with compression being put in
dracut.conf.  Be more flexible that way than the command line which I
assume overides dracut.conf - so a lot less flexible.

Yes, that's the idea.


  Also, is it time to switch from gzip to xz or even to zstd yet?


xz is much slower than gzip, and the kernel does not support zstd.
