I too dislike having to use initramfs rather than having the essential
modules compiled into the kernel. In passing, I can see the problem
for distributions, since what is "essential" varies with the user.
For example, I usually use f2fs on my SSDs.

However, as I understand it, it is difficult to apply firmware fixes
to CPUs other than by using initramfs. And firmware fixes are pretty
important, not least for security.

Have I got this wrong?
