     That's exactly what initrd/initramfs is for. It also allows much 
more. In general, "providing more" is considered a good thing. The fact 
that there are abuses of the initramfs to do things we don't like, 
should not disconsider initramfs itself. I guess also that many things 
done in the initramfs could be undone later.
