+
+So plymouth-scripts breaks as dracut-functions got moved, and the old
+mkinitrd functions are no longer present after the obsoletes was added.
+In addition, make-boot-splash-raw seems to not handle the failure
+properly, creating empty initramfs instead.
+
+I'm going to look at this right now to fix at least the first one. I'm
+not 100% sure if this add_boot_splash() stuff is needed at all (for
+customs bootsplashes maybe?), but I'll leave that for Colin to look at :)
