I suppose so, do you have an idea on what architectures it runs fine on, it
would be especially interesting on those architectures where initramfs has
trouble.

I guess generic miscomprehension, or whatever. The fact that ubuntu uses
initramfs-tools for example, and so on.

I think what would be of most interest is a technical description of both
solutions, as well as a list of arches where it is known to work, should work,
almost works, fails utterly.

The fact that yaird doesn't use klibc seems to be a nice feature on those
arches where klibc is still broken.

I believe the best solution is to leave the choice to the user, with a sane
default depending on the arch/subarch used.
