Re: only thing I ask
None of my systems use an initramfs. Being standard PCs, you only need to compile in disk and filesystem drivers to get them to boot.
The initramfs concept was invented for non-optimal distro kernels which have to boot on the 1% of obscure hardware platforms*. I see this all the time in Linux, large amounts of bloat to cope with edge cases.
*I can see a need for it for encrypted drives.
