I *tried* to clarify it, but was apparently unsuccessful, since the agenda item contained no mention of initramfs: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_2eaaf4a4e302bf0e6c20accaec61db82.xml > that was the only > thing that could cause a technical issue, specifically to users who have > setup according to official documentation, requiring a policy decision.
