I liked the patch. I don't think it was any harmful, and would enable people to
use nfs. I would also not mind having an initrd with even more tools beyond
nfsmount. :)

I've been using nfsroot in some machines, but in those cases, I have not used
initrd because I did not want to find that nfsmount. :)
Then I used a special kernel with some compiled in code, so I could use
"nfsroot=blabla ip=dhcp" for example.
