i won't reply all your comments, because is boring.

i will just say, Adam Jackson and Poettering on many ocation accused ubuntu (or other distros) to fragment the comunity, while they suffer from NIH sindrome. i haven't see any proof that systemd is better than upstart

the dracut documentation on freedesktop suggest not to implement another initrd maker because dracut is here, the same rationale could be applied to mkinitramfs which is older, extensible and better tested than dracut.

i don't care what fedora/rh guys think about how linux should be. just don't bother us with your bloat, many of us are very happy with sysinit, shell scripts and such. leave our tools alone

udev+systemd is not fine

bye, have a nice life (i do)

You haven't provided any reference for your claims about Adam Jackson and I suspect you don't have any and just made that up. Also, you seem to misunderstand the link you have provided which has nothing to do with separate /usr and there isn't any Fedora specific issue here.

If you want to understand, the differences between mkinitramfs and dracut, refer to https://lwn.net/Articles/317793/. There is a reason why several distributions have adopted Dracut by default now

If you want to continue using a older init system and shell scripts, you are welcome to.
