To summarize:
Sounds good.
Use dracut to improve linux distribution adoption.
- This can work for Feodra/RHEL
- Allow to use the host kernel (required by fedora/Red Hat)
- Waiting if some other distro provide feedback
- If we implement it should we remove fedora support from osbuilder? as this was done to allow Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS adoption but are going with the dracut approach
The osbuilder Fedora support doesn't work with distro kernels. It also doesn't use the latest Fedora release (30). It's probably not used much and removing it would be fine.
Keep using osbuilder for the rest of use cases dracut not cover. Spacially for DAX images And not systemd based images (sorry I did not get if possible to not ship systemd).
I haven't tried. In theory systemd is just a dracut module that can be disabled. Maybe it can be replaced with a kata-agent module that acts a /sbin/init instead. This would result in a smaller initramfs.
