I don't know if they will, but the list of potential users for your hack
is a bit larger:
As far as I know, the Linux kernel cannot really support a
firmware-update/override "early initramfs" without a "boot" initramfs,
which is a really annoying limitation for anyone that doesn't want a
"boot" initramfs for whatever reason.
