Hello Michael, This change was proposed by the Dracut maintainers. https://salsa.debian.org/linux-blocks-team/sg3-utils/-/merge_requests/1
While I don't use/test Dracut, I've always wanted to be willing to accommodate more choice. But now this is a challenge when integrating changes, where one doesn't directly have an insight to all possible use cases/complications. Michael: What do you propose a change for this ? I don't have any preference here.
