There is no plan. Dracut is an optional alternative, because Arch is all about choice. People who like dracut are welcome to use it.
According to Wiki you can test it and switch to it if you think it's working - then remove mkinitcpio. So if one want to make sure dracut is working how does {s}he test it? You cannot compare the initfsram files created as dracut contains the microcode image also. Furthermore neither the wiki [1] not the man page [2] is a mention on the HOOKS [3] that mkinitcpio uses. Is there something similar for dracut or it's not required For example: will it automatically execute `btrfs device scan` as the `btrfs` HOOK would do in mkinitcpio?
