An initramfs doesn't really need any maintenance, it does a couple of simple tasks, basically mounting stuff, and then exits. Once working there's no reason to change it. Even if you do and break things, it's exactly the same as the situation with a broken kernel update, you just boot with the previous one (that's one reason I leave the initramfs inside the kernel, a working kernel will always work without any reliance on other files). -- Neil Bothwick "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!"
