17 We have no intentions on building support for unionfs for a non-CD
18 build. It simply does not belong in the initramfs *at all* if it isn't
19 for a CD. This is the reason we're removing the support, so we can
20 build support that is CD-only properly and also so that proper support
21 can be added to the init system for any non-CD unionfs.
22
23 Anyway, it is still a long ways off and isn't something we consider a
24 priority, so I guess just stick around to see what becomes of it.
