following this thread, i'm unclear about the global/future concern. guessing
it's in here somewhere ...
what specific use case -- or planned change -- is this addressing?
_my_ current usage doesn't seem to have an issue.
e.g., for
distro
Name: Fedora Linux 42 (Adams)
Version: 42
Codename:
uname -r
6.16.10-200.fc42.x86_64
with compression
/usr/lib/dracut/skipcpio /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | file -
/dev/stdin: Zstandard compressed data (v0.8+), Dictionary ID:
None
lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | head
Image: /boot/initramfs-6.16.10-200.fc42.x86_64.img: 47M

i've *plenty* of room
df -BM --total /dev/nvme0n1p{1,2}

total - 2495M 368M 2009M 16% -
for even 1GB /boot part size.
iiuc, it's NOT just for new-installs.
