I almost never use an initrd. Most of the time it isn't necessary and is
just a waste of time to build, maintain and use it.
Thanks to git, I even find it it easier to maintain my own set of
patches for the kernel (which I do since several years) and I find it
easier to explain such others too, than to explain someone about how to
build, maintain and use an initrd.
Regards,
Alexander
