Dracut does not work out of the box (we currently patch it to not use a nonexistent tool, and the same patch is now in upstream master but with no release in sight), and has issues like the tests failing on non-Redhat systems. 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. So the jury is still out on whether dracut or mkinitcpio is more work. ;) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
