Good news: Small initramfs-tools images are no longer discouraged!



Hi,

Apparently one of the old worries of using initramfs-tools as default
for the upcoming release of Debian is no more:

The maintainer of initramfs-tools, Maximilian Attems, today adjusted
the status and comparison page of ramdisk tools[1], stating in the
changelog that there is no problems using MODULES=dep instead of the
current default, MODULES=most.

It used to be discouraged to even test out that setting[2], but
apparantly all problems have since vanished.

Have all arches since then improved to no longer need smaller kernels?
Do any of the currently supported arches still require floppies or other
space-limited media?

If not, we should perhaps request that initramfs-tools switch to using
MODULES=dep by default.

Or did I somehow misunderstand something, Max?


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
