anyone have any good pointers to an initramfs interrogator, maybe that

I posted a script fragment that compares the contents of the kernel's
initramfs config file with the live filesystem. Dracut users could use
the same method by parsing the output from lsinitrd.
My question is, why can't portage do this automatically as part of the
update process for these packages?
Again: support for separate /usr should absolutely NOT be dropped
unless/until this process can be handled properly by portage itself.
At an absolute bare minimum, the emerge output should advise the user
if/when they need to update their initramfs, but ideally, it should be
done automatically - automation is something that computers are good at.
