Switch_root utility in util-linux appeared _after_ the same utility appeared in busybox. In util-linux it was implemented in 2009, http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux/util-linux.git;a=commit;h=711ea7307d54caa74aa89fc7e8614236e3721f1c This command there were taken from dracut apparently. In there, it has been written in 2002 (I guess), has been called "switchroot" (no underscore), and it does _umounting_ of /dev, /proc, /sys, as can be seen at http://pjones.fedorapeople.org/mkstart/usr/lib/mkstart/switchroot.c In busybox it has been implemented as switch_root in 2005, in this commit: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/util-linux/switch_root.c?id=0f34a821ab99e4936c7aa4974f58784442172211 which, obviously, pre-dates the same command in util-linux. There in busybox, it is named switch_root right from the beginning, and were made after run-init behavour (instead of the switchroot from dracut). So we can conclude these implementations (in util-linux and busybox) are independent and not follows or modelled from one another. In dractu, were it umounted /dev /proc /sys instead of moving these, I guess it was modelled after nash which was a bad example of shell to use in initrd, it didn't have most standard shell constructs so it weren't easy to program in it. But I can only guess.
