What do you think will its target user base be? I'm just trying to figure out why a user of such a utility (i.e. we're not speaking of embedded world) wouldn't be able to afford an initramfs image of up to, say, 8 MB. Then, with gzip -9 giving a factor of 2.5+ compression on the cpio archive of the modules tree, you can perhaps fit all the modules (well, sound can be thrown away) and the hotplug stuff from the live system into initramfs.cpio.gz.
