dracut is the common one sure, but I'm still not confident that it's the
right place to put this. How would that feature look? Would we have the
root= parameter use a format that's specific to dracut and no longer a
sane kernel parameter? Would we use a second parameter and discard the
root= parameter? I think all of these are suboptimal solutions. No, the
right way, I think, is to implement this in the kernel and let the init
systems take it from there themselves.
