I think's Neoclust worries for nothing.
There not that much packages using uclibc:
busybox-1.20.2-1.mga3.src
CCfits-2.4-1.mga3.src
liblzo-2.06-1.mga2.src
libx86-1.1-11.mga2.src
lvm2-2.02.95-5.mga3.src
newt-0.52.14-2.mga3.src
pciutils-3.1.10-1.mga3.src
slang-2.2.4-4.mga3.src
sysfsutils-2.1.0-14.1.mga3.src
util-linux-2.21.2-3.mga3.src
wmbattery-2.40-1.mga2.src
wmfire-1.2.4-1.mga2.src
zlib-1.2.7-4.mga3.src
Note that of those are unused
(busybox/pciutils/newt/slang/sysfsutils/zlib) unlike
mdv who choose to bloat installer by compiling with uclibc instead of dietlibc
What's more, the remaining ones (util-linux, lvm2 (maybe busybox?)) were
used with old mkinitrd but I think dracut now use glibc linked ones.
Colin, can you confirm?
So I don't think it's that much critical.
At worst, we can check that regenerating initrd on a LVM machine still
boots.
