I still got my own kernel at the time I wanted (ie: not waiting for the distro to issue one), but hey.. one cannot win everywhere :)
This is something I've wondered about for a while watching various kernel compile threads. What is the purpose of getting rid of initrd? What is the advantage (or dis-, I suppose) of this?
