We've got some licensing concerns with a pre-generated binary blob of bits from other packages being shipped with the kernel package, and the kernel srpm doesn't have any sources to match those binary blobs. Those are my biggest issues. I'd much prefer to see work continue on dracut and have it available for F-12 users, but not default. We only have one more major test point, the Beta, and there is very little time after the beta to repair such a critical function as our initrd generation, and no opportunity to test such repairs. It is simply too late for F-12. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
