If you want reliability, Make your basic utils *statically* linked,
a) Only works for binaries that don't use any of the name resolving functions like gethostbyname as name resolution needs the nss* libs and they are *always* loaded dynamically, even if glibc itself is linked statically. b) static binaries are a maintenance nightmare from the security POV. Instead of updating one dynamic library you need to update x statically linked binaries.
There is no need for initrd, and getting rid of it in the default case would improve reliability, performance and speed of boot.
Then use OpenFATE to suggest such a feature for a future OpenSUSE version. Declaring it here on the list is a sure way of making it go unnoticed. BTW, could you please make up your mind as to which mailing list you want to address and stop that unneeded crossposting?
