+Doh, I forgot about that it was sysvinit vs systemd-sysvinit and not 
+systemd itself :(
+
+so systemd can/must be readded as requires.

+
+Yep. useful as long as there is a mkinitrd on the mirrors.

+Check again. I only removed Obsoletes, the Provides is still there:
+http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/dracut/current/SPECS/dracut.spec?r1=194858&r2=196541
+
+But I guess I need to bump rel on provides to be mkinitrd rel + 1
+
+And maybe readd the obsoletes with current mkinitrd rel - 1
+That way mkinitrd will stay on the mirrors, but an automatic
+upgrade to dracut will happend from Mageia 1.

+
+Yeah, systemd-sysvinit provides (and maybe possible obsoletes)
+need to be checked
+
+
+I will recheck the EVRs and fix the "mess"
