Comment 6 for bug 2049540

Hi Ben,

> Is there any proof that these modules are needed?

It appears we have very different assumptions for how dracut was to be brought on board.

Diffstat of 0.142ubuntu1[01].log looks like:
 1 file changed, 229 insertions(+), 661 deletions(-)

That sounds like a lot of changes, in a LTS. I think we need to flip the mindset here - the status quo of the modules present should be preserved, and the differences should be justified. Do we have supporting evidence that all these changes are appropriate? The risk here is that inadequate testing happens and we get a trickle of bugs like LP: #2042710 that will need to be SRUed.

I appreciate that the previous mechanism has certainly acquired some bloat by including whole directories, but now that is the observable shipping behavior and we risk regressing people who depend on that. How can we tell the difference?
