Yeah, we're killing off klibc, as it's largely unmaintained. We're
switching to actually using glibc and busybox. This comes at a size
cost, but adds convenience and won't be too noticeable in terms of
speed.

We'll also gain improved filesystem detection and a better rescue shell.

mkinitcpio, including the hooks/install pairs will remain as is, so
the instructions provided in this thread will still work fine.
