In such cases using tip of git branch would help.

Making dracut work initially may need some work but after that it will just 
work.
There is also 3rd-party initramfs modules developer perspective where coding
something once which then will work on all distros (as dracut is supported in
fedora/rhel, ubuntu/debian, suse, etc.) makes life easier than having to support
each distro separately. Fragmentation is big issue as always.
