I'm a bit surprised they didn't stick with 168, really. Even udev 175
requires a /usr mount in the initramfs, and devtmpfs (though the latter
is easy to replace). The former is probably a good idea anyway. The
latter... for any system other than the very largest, or embedded
systems that must boot in a second or less, I can't see a benefit.
