I see dracut is creeping into the system. Which I see as fine, SuSE has used dracut for a couple of years and it has proven to be quite robust. But I do have a question on roll-out and what will be required on the user's part. I have begun seeing, e.g.:At first I thought that dracut, being common to Suse and Fedora, would be nice to use in Arch too, so that there's more standardisation between distros. Alas, after using it for a while, dracut seems like the worse project than mkinitcpio. Both are heavily based on bash, but dracut is a huge single script and hard to follow. dracut also had obvious errors (for which I've sent a PR) that really cooled me off the idea to replace mkinitcpio with it.
dracut is huge because it supports way more stuff than mkinitcpio does. I have been using it on a few of my machines for a long time now, without issues. I use mkinitcpio on my main machine.
I'd hope that mkinitcpio stays the supported initramfs system in Arch in the near future. Are there any pressing issues in mkinitcpio currently?
I don't see things changing any time soon. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
