Sure, I didn't mean it wouldn't. I just mean that even for people who don't care about signatures, strip shouldn't be used alone, since it'll even break loading the module. Samuel

I'm also hitting disk contraints with almost-100M initrds.

[...] We must not do this by default because stripping will destroy module signatures. I'm open to adding an option but won't work on it myself.
