Hmm, great! Anyone having any experience with that?

I might just try it. I welcome a more minimal approach to initramfs as
long as it works. :)

Not sure whether that very trivial module loading support without
automatic dependency resolution would be suitable for a laptop unless I
chose to compile everything in that the system needs to mount /.

Hmmm, may not work see "When not to use":

https://github.com/chris-se/tiny-initramfs/

So would only work with self-compiled kernels I think. And even then… when
/ is on LVM probably bad luck.

On another note: I would prefer to go without libsystemd0 when using
elogind… but if it does increase maintenance cost beyond a reasonable
limit I understand.

Best,
