Well I know of one minor - at least, I THINK it's minor - problem with it:
The ext2fs on Initrd option has been listed as BROKEN for the past year
and a half - minimum. So that would take someone with C coding experience
to fix that. (Rules me right the hell out.) =)
Overall, I'd rather stick with Minix for the ramdisks and go to VFAT on
the floppies, since that's what most folks are - all unbeknownst to them -
using already anyways.
