Comment # 30 on bug 1213222 from Stefan Hundhammer

Since there already is a popup, and I expect users on that level of expertise
to have a look at the log file (/var/log/YaST/y2log) where the whole dracut
output is logged, I am not sure about the benefit of yet another special
handling of yet another rare special case.

That's the things the keep eating away our development resources, that add to
code bloat and largely dead code that is never executed or tested, so it's
pre-programmed bit rot.

See also https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212560#c10 from yesterday.


About /etc/sysconfig/kernel and INITRD_MODULES there, see bug #1212764. We keep
accumulating that kind of bit rot anyway; it's not a good idea to add even more
artificially.


So, after this lengthy discussion and careful consideration, the conclusion is
that we are not going to add even more special handling.

Alexander, just to clarify: Your input and contribution is appreciated, and
this whole discussion was very valuable, even though the result is not what you
wished for. But we have to keep the whole YaST and openSUSE project in mind.
