Last time I compared Herbert's mkinitrd with the Red Hat one I determined that
Herbert's one seemed better. Some RH users I know did the same comparison
and reached the same conclusion.
The RH one may be more readable, but I've found Herbert's code to be readable
enough.

It would be good if there was more communication from Herbert. Also I have
written quite a number of helper scripts for making initrd's which I have
offered to Herbert for inclusion in an "examples" directory, but he has
declined.

Maybe you should take it to the technical committee?
