I almost never use an initrd. Most of the time it isn't necessary and is 
just a waste of time to build, maintain and use it.

Thanks to git, I even find it it easier to maintain my own set of 
patches for the kernel (which I do since several years) and I find it 
easier to explain such others too, than to explain someone about how to 
build, maintain and use an initrd.

Regards,

Alexander
