Carlos, why do you need to run mkinitrd yourself?
RPM packages create the initrd automatically when needed, so a manual invocation should not be needed,
a) you changed something that is used during initrd (/etc/crypttab is the most obvious example) b) initrd has leftovers after removing some packages (common problem during removal on NVIDIA drivers, I do not know if it still valid) or was not updated after installation of a package because packager forgot it c) changed hardware and want to make sure initrd includes necessary drivers (usually called via chroot) Just to name a few. Maybe developers sometimes need to read user forums to get a feeling about real problems users have. There is life beyond "zypper dup".
