Next step is to add sshd there so that RCV traffic can be tunneled
securely over it and I can access initramfs shell while the system is
booting (without having to stop that long running fsck...).

Good point. However, if run-init, /sbin/init, libc, /etc/init.d/rcS,
or /bin/sh on the root filesystem are somehow corrupted I would like
to see the error message remotely. With sshd I could also replace them
with working binaries and reboot the system. Doesn't this sound
useful? ;-)
