Even fewer that do it actually need it.
While I won't debate that it probably isn't strictly essential, dracut handles unmounting root for systemd just fine (well, at least on non-nfs - the version I'm using with an nfs root struggles in this regard, though unclean shutdown on nfs with no files open probably isn't really a problem). Is dracut still not widely used? I know that it was all the fashion for a decade or two for every distro to build their own initramfs, but I don't get why anybody wouldn't just make the switch - it is far more capable and configurable. -- Rich
