Everyone I know who uses an initrd writes his own script. You might read some |
| 13 |
of the files from Slackware: |

For me, personally, there just isn't a reason for having an initrd in Gentoo. |
| 18 |
There are good and valid reasons that I use separate /var or /usr or LVM or |
| 19 |
RAID partitions that, under systemd's udev, would require an initrd. But IMO |
| 20 |
the OpenRC and >=sys-fs/udev-181 don't need to be rewritten, or obsoleted, by |
| 21 |
the mess that is systemd. |

As stated before ... I'm not of the mindset to have choices dictated to me. |
