+
+Not really. It needs to be there to satisfy the kernel deps on mkinitrd

+
+I will start testing this out sometime this week.
+
+But thinking more on it:
+I think the proper way to fix the upgrade is to switch kernel requires 
+to dracut instead of mkinitrd (as it will be done for Mga 3 anyway).
+
+That way we get dracut installed without removing mkinitrd, and
+alternatives would make us use dracut by default (but keeping the
+"failsafe").
+
+and when we start Mga3 development we let dracut obsolete mkinitrd/nash
+and remove it completely.

+Fixed in systemd-38-4.mga2
+
+And dracut-014-15.mga2 has higher mkinitrd provides than real mkinitrd

+
+True.
