We have it, it works (or at least worked). Someone would need to |
| 14 |
implement it in genkernel initrds though as at the moment only dracut |
| 15 |
can handle it. |

In terms of package maintenance, I took the package from aidecoe when he |
| 18 |
dropped it to avoid it getting removed. People seem to have found issues |
| 19 |
in there now and it could use a bump. As I cannot boot my systems using |
| 20 |
dracut initrds right now, feel free to take the package (and the openrc |
| 21 |
plugin for it) and fix/bump/do whatever with it. |
