Hi.
I think that we should do at least one thing before release - move 
initmod into separate package from initrd, and remove initrd dependency 
for kernel. This is trivial change, and this will help in future for 
embedded platforms where initrd may be integrated into kernel.

Also, how about David's port for Raspberry Pi? He haven't time to commit 
his work, or there is some troubles with right realization of 
cross-build for different arch (for ex. applying of platform-specific 
patches)?
