Yes, it's a little bit easier then manually adding a new initramfs. |
| 12 |
But as I update userspace more frequently then the kernel, that would |
| 13 |
still lead to a version discrepency. |

I need to always remember to rebuild the initramfs when a part of |
| 15 |
userspace that sits in the initramfs is updated. An automatic option there |
| 16 |
would be usefull. |
| 17 |
If it were included into the kernel, I would need to rebuild the kernel |
| 18 |
after every update. Just redoing the initramfs is less of a waste of CPU. |
