Good one!!!!! :) I guess this merge happening only because systemd... Now the council expects people to: 1. maintain initramfs, it can be complex or simple task, depend on the configuration. 2. place all disk and filesystem recovery utilities within initramfs. 3. or... prepare to use rescue cd every time something is broken.
