Just my 50 cents: The past few weeks have really been focused on 
creating a basic dracut infrastructure and getting various crazy and 
convoluted system-configurations to boot with a dracut _generated_ 
initramfs. And we're not even finished with that yet.

I view the current state as "collecting information" and prototyping to 
know which things need to be done inside the initrd and test out various 
combinations in how that can be done. But we're still a few steps from 
"the initrd of total domination".

Regards,
Philippe
