I suppose the primary reasons for shipping a static dump (and, perhaps
more importantly, restore) is for emergency situations. But these
days I can't imagine many emergency situations that aren't better
solved by booting the rescue media instead of booting single-user.
dump and restore are on the rescue media, aren't they? (Personally I
wish the initrd could be extended to act as a rescue medium, but I
imagine that many people would object to that.)
