Again based on the current status of mkinitrd (and the fact that the above bug somehow seems to take quite some time to be resolved) I really wonder if we have to keep the old mkinitrd functionality or that we should go with a newer technology which is used by more distributions. Especially as that we are already providing working packages for dracut.
Yes, there are plans to drop mkinitrd (actually, there seem to be 3 different scripts to generate a initrd - the "usual" mkinitrd, one for kiwi and one for the installation media) and use dracut instead. If you are interested in details, Frederic's talk at the openSUSE conference might be interesing.
