I'm not sure I see a path to switching away from klibc-utils completely. As far as I can tell, every upload of initramfs-tools ever has still invoked ipconfig for some arguments.

Most configs can be handled by writing some shell to replace what ipconfig does and some functionality can probably be dropped but doing all of it doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

It would be fairly easy to invoke dhclient for the common case of a simple dhcp request, but would it be worth it?
