I guess you and many others don't realize the speed of the Linux evolution

patches. Even if much of the code is not changing - the halftime for
patches has reduced quite a bit ...
I'm aware of the speed at which the kernel changes. What I didn't expect was
that I picked the one time to try and fix mips embedded ramdisks with a more
permanent fix at the same time someone else did -- just the someone else had a
much better idea that applied more globally. Call it bad timing with a little
bit of coincidence mixed in.
I'll have to figure out how this CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE works now (it doesn't
look like the Kconfig bits are in yet, a quick grep only shows mentions in
defconfigs), and then see how it can replace the older embedded ramdisk idea.
