The problem I think was that the syntax was one which worked for one
OS and the dracut is meant to work for all Linuxes.. so they worked
out a set of items which worked for Debian, SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora.
The syntax change I think landed in Fedora right after RHEL-6 and was
in RHEL-7 from the beginning. As the web page goes over, there are
several different syntaxes which can be used for different
environments.
[At this point i have been having to hack that syntax for 7 years so I
have a severe case of Stockholm syndrome.]
