mkosi-initrd is an alternative builder for initrds. It will be packaged in Fedora, so that users can use it to build initrds locally. A kernel-install plugin will be provided to build the initrd when a kernel package is installed. As a stretch goal, initrds will be build in koji and delivered via rpm packages. As a further stretch goal, pre-built initrds will be used in Unified Kernel Images that can be delivered via rpm packages.
Only a subset of installation types will be supported. Change proposal devel-announce post devel list discussion Owners: @zbyszek @lnykryn @daandemeyer

Yes, that's some proper feedback!
I've lost track of the number of initrd building tools we've had over the years. Seems like the topic always needs revisiting. :)
