Think of it as encouraging you to be an early adopter... I suspect it won't be many years (maybe 1) before you have to have an initramfs to boot. There will be a standard one distributed with the kernel, but it will (hopefully) be fairly easy to add stuff. So get with the program. Initramfs is *easy*. Just DO it. (mdadm-2.2 comes with a script to make an initramfs which "works for me").
