I guess you and many others don't realize the speed of the Linux evolution these days. Between 2.6.10-rc1 and 2.6.10-rc2 there's about 9MB of patches. Even if much of the code is not changing - the halftime for patches has reduced quite a bit ...
I'm aware of the speed at which the kernel changes. What I didn't expect was that I picked the one time to try and fix mips embedded ramdisks with a more permanent fix at the same time someone else did -- just the someone else had a much better idea that applied more globally. Call it bad timing with a little bit of coincidence mixed in.
I'll have to figure out how this CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE works now (it doesn't look like the Kconfig bits are in yet, a quick grep only shows mentions in defconfigs), and then see how it can replace the older embedded ramdisk idea.
