I guess, he means keeping udev in / ?
Because adding 80 KiB of initramfs hurts so much? We should then
put more work just to ensure that admin doesn't have to waste 15
minutes to recompile the kernel (if necessary), create an
initramfs and add it to bootloader config?
Took me days to get dracut to work. Where does 15 minutes come
from? How much time does it take when the initramfs fails? I keep
hoping that all the smart people involved in this will see the mess
it is creating. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I'm sharp
enough to see the mess this is going to create and I'm just a
desktop user. I feel sorry for people with more complicated
systems or remote ones.

If you have got it working once, it should take less than 15 minutes
(I've made myself a bashscript with the exact dracut commandline
parameters needed for my system).
But I have to agree with you, that exotic setups (I have encypted root
on my laptop) are very bad documented.
If dracut shall become standard for Gentoo (alternative: genkernel can
build an initramfs) someone will have to write an exact howto with the
most important (or better all) commandline arguments and kernel
commandline parameters.

If I recall correctly, it took me at least three or four web sites and
the man page to get dracut to work. This is something that needs to be
worked on hugely before this goes to much farther. Gentoo doesn't need
to lose its status on the docs. I tried to follow the Gentoo doc and it
would not even boot. I tried everything I could find but it still
didn't work. Out of date, maybe. I dunno. It just didn't work for
me. Thing is, my current setup doesn't even need one. I plan to have a
separate /usr on LVM as soon as I can get me one more large drive. I'll
have to have one then.
