Agreed. Please note that there was a discussion on opensuse-factory regarding slow boot times due to a large initrd [1] so there's value in trimming it down. === There is advice on the systemd website that to speed up boot-- get rid of it entirely.
Wouldn't do for a generic -from-the-CD-install/boot, BUT, just as initrd is a custom config/user's system that is autobuilt for their system, why not do the same with a kernel so it boots directly from HD?
