Because it eliminates the need for an initramfs (which I used until a few
weeks ago), even if you've got your / on an encrypted logical volume. I simply
put just enough userspace tools into /boot to be able to create the dmcrypt
mapping and mount the real root fs, then run pivot_root and /sbin/init.
So in the end it's the same than using an initramfs, but with less hassle. And
for consistency reasons, I also use this scheme on every machine.
