Because it eliminates the need for an initramfs (which I used until a few=20 weeks ago), even if you've got your / on an encrypted logical volume. I sim= ply=20 put just enough userspace tools into /boot to be able to create the dmcrypt= =20 mapping and mount the real root fs, then run pivot_root and /sbin/init. So in the end it's the same than using an initramfs, but with less hassle. = And=20 for consistency reasons, I also use this scheme on every machine. Bye...
