Will dracut detect whether it already uses initrd and keep using initrd instead of initramfs? Otherwise it won't work because we keep multi-version kernels and the old kernel package will insist initrd instead of initramfs while only the new kernel will use initramfs.
And what about the users of Kernel:{stable,HEAD} on old distributions?
Right, that's even a bigger problem.
But nobody explicitly *supports* those users. We don't test or validate against Kernel:* projects. If we add that to this, we'll be paralyzed.
Well, quite a lot of users have been using Kernel:stable kernel on Leap systems over many years. I have no statistics but I know it from a pile of bug reports. That is, although Kernel:stable on Leap is not tested systematically, practically it's been working, and any regression is notified by the *real* user. So yes, we are paralyzed in that sense, and we must keep it working on both TW and Leap as much as possible. Breaking such a thing just for some random consistency purpose doesn't sound like a valid excuse... thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
