Could I get more explanation of what this means and its implications? I'm=20 thinking in particular about the implications for suspending to disk. Will = it=20 imply that everyone will _have_ to have an initramfs with some userspace=20 program that sets up device nodes and so on, even if at the moment all you= =20 have is root=3D/dev/hda1 resume2=3Dswap:/dev/hda2? Along similar lines, I had been considering eventually including support fo= r=20 putting an image in place of the initrd (for embedded).
