I agree - certainly, there has been nothing raised to FESCo yet to disable it, and it was not removed from the feature list in any FESCo discussion. That discussion can certainly be had if someone wants to raise it to FESCo. >> 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. >> > > We already do the same with the stage1 and stage2 images of anaconda.

The issue is that stage1/stage2 are generated at *tree* build time, and therefore are guaranteed to match the tree (and source RPMs) we ship. As dracut images are currently built at *kernel* build time, that is not the case. Moving to building initramfs at kernel install time would solve this.
