The same here. This news scared me a little! If during this "update" some of my servers gets screwed up, I will have to travel 100 miles to fix it on place. Not very nice perspective... BTW, I'm not using genkernel and I can not use it. sys-kernel/dracut is not stable yet, so this update going to be real pain in a**! After baselayout 1>2 update I thought nothing worse can happen to me. Now I see I was terribly wrong...
