Trying to reduce the boot time of standard distributions, I would like to get rid of the initrd. The initrd is for mounting the root file system and on most end user systems with standard distributions that means loading the bus driver for the drive and the file system driver. [...] I would expect most end user systems to use at least one of LVM and cryptsetup, which need user-space to configure them. Debian has the "tiny-initramfs" package that covers the simple cases you're targetting, and can be used instead of initramfs-tools or dracut. The upstream of that is: <https://github.com/chris-se/tiny-initramfs/>. But I don't anticipate that we would change the default initramfs builder any time soon.
