Genkernel has been around for a LONG time. I'm well aware of it. |

1. As you point out, its not a package. That means it works |
| 12 |
differently than everything else, and it can't be used as a |
| 13 |
dependency/etc. |
| 14 |
2. Genkernel's initramfs isn't all that great. Don't get me wrong - |
| 15 |
it was very good back when it was new. However, I find it hard to |
| 16 |
compare it to the likes of dracut. |

However, if it were all that serious of an issue somebody would have |
| 19 |
fixed it by now. Manually building a kernel and using dracut is easy |
| 20 |
enough, and of course some prefer to not use an initramfs if their |
| 21 |
configuration allows it. |
