In this case, and I don't know why, I have this feeling that this thing is gonna turn out badly and I'd be better being prepared on the initramfs side of things. I did have to use one to bring up my server with / on a RAID6, not because I needed it long term but in the short term I couldn't determine how mdadm was numbering the RAID so that I could get grub.conf correct. I'm somehow a bot worried something is going to slip by the devs and I'd be better off having an initramfs already running on the box when I do allow the upgrades. Planning on giving Dracut a try.
