True, but depending on the distro, the distro may want to load specific 
userland gadgets into the initrd based on your kernel build.

Most kernel hacker situations probably don't need this, but a modern 
distro these days _does_ want critical-to-boot stuff in initrd like LVM 
bootstrap programs, iSCSI discovery, Bluetooth userland management, etc.
