Or to exclude ext2 and make everything modular? If you include ext3 then
you probably should be asking do we include xfs, reiser, jfs, etc.

For the tiny amount of administration that an initial ramdisk incurs, it
does buy you a fair bit of flexibility, including the ability to
function as a recovery boot environment if things go sour.
