That's got nothing to do with it, and it's rude of you to make this about Canek, IMO. It's YOU who wants things differently from the planned roadmap, so why shouldn't YOU code the features? There have been a couple of posts in this thread, I don't recall who made them, who talked of the "1% of users forcing this change on the other 99%". This is an exceedingly disingenuous argument - it's the Gentoo users, the objectors, who are the 1%. 99% of users won't even notice this, because they're using binary distros. My inclination is to agree with you. I detest initramfs, but I don't significantly partition my disks, so I'm unaffected. But if you care you'd better stop whining and get coding. It's inexcusable of you to try and turn the problem around and question Canek's contributions to OSS if you're unprepared to make any yourself. Stroller.
