IMHO an important point is that such fallout still could be justified if the change fixed an actual problem affecting users or improved the distribution for users in a significant way. I don't see either in the reasoning (for the rename) provided so far.
I fully agree. Daniel has put forward two arguments: 1. formally correct naming of the files, 2. removal of SUSE-specific patches. Wrt 1.) I'd say it's an academic argument, irrelevant and not worth giving a single thought, if it's clear that the name change will cause real problems for real people. 2.) is a different issue. The negative effect of ongoing maintenance efforts shouldn't be underestimated. However, in this particular case I don't see a real problem. AFAICS the current dracut code base contains only two related commits: 1442c9d Fix initramfs-$ver.img vs initrd-$ver in dracut-initramfs- restore.sh 16f2179 Adjust initramfs-$kernel.img to SUSE default: initrd-$kernel These amount to 8 deleted and 6 added code lines in total. I dare say that that's also not worth even the slightest risk of causing regressions for anyone. @Daniel, please correct me if I have overlooked something important.
