kernel-install runs a collection of scripts (hooks), with the systemd

logic is cross distro, provided by systemd, and not tied to pacman.
Improvements can be shared. What it makes me prefer systemd kernel-install than
pacman hooks logic.


I just disagree with the part where it somehow implies that improvements can't 
be made
to the current hooks. The main reason I started mirroring the mkinitcpio on 
github is
so we can receive contributions more easily.

Using kernel-install, on Arch, is also pacman dependent, because you trigger it 
using
pacman hooks. The only difference is what do you call. As I've said, even 
though I
*personally* don't like it too much, nothing prevents us from using it in the 
future.

Now that the kernel package doesn't install the kernel anymore, we can even 
provide
more than one option for the user to install it wherever they want. So far we 
have only
mkinitcpio hooks for doing that, soon dracut hooks as well. We can have a 
single hook in
the future that reads from a configuration file which method the user wants.
