Archdevs,

  I see dracut is creeping into the system. Which I see as fine, SuSE has used
dracut for a couple of years and it has proven to be quite robust. But I do
have a question on roll-out and what will be required on the user's part. I
have begun seeing, e.g.:


Dracut is not "creeping" into anything. At the time mkinitcpio replacement was 
considered,
mkinitcpio didn't had a maintainer anymore and I've packaged it and brought it 
up on the mail
list so people would use it.

However, I have been maintaining mkinitcpio for the past couple of years. For 
now, mkinitcpio
will probably remain the default, and dracut is an option. I have yet need to 
find it a decent
support for the hooks to install the kernel as well as time to mimic 
mkinitcpio's profile functionality
with dracut. This is one of the reasons I didn't include any hooks with it yet.

New optional dependencies for brltty
    dracut: for dracut based initramfs support


I think this dependency is wrong, should probably be the other way around.


  I currently have 3 Arch servers, with one remote administered, so if this
will require some type of manual on-site intervention, it would be good to
know before hand.


We try to have a news item for any manual intervention needed, so you don't 
need to worry.

Giancarlo Razzolini
