Because it's small, and if it wasn't there, we'd have to have the small
"rootfs" anyway (which basically duplicated ramfs functionality).

He didn't want to be in either file at some point (yes, I asked him),
some day I'll put him in anyway (he's been the effective maintainer of

wants to be in the MAINTAINTERS file or not).
