Our dracut packager tried to get in touch with the dracut developer, after a lack of success for quite some time it seems that the individual in question was on... parental leave, IIRC? I'm not sure what the current status is.
Now that does not bode well as something to build your setup around. I have dracut working fine on openSUSE, so I know it will work, but I sure haven't had any problems with the current way Arch does it. Unless there is a reliable (and responsive) upstream, I don't see the benefit (or wisdom) of patching a project that is somewhat "on-hold" just to say we have dracut and moving to it. SuSE has a lot of resources to direct toward the issue. Personally I've always found the Arch KISS philosophy the better approach. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
