Looking through the git logs, I noticed that 'mayflower' has been removed in favor of using a newer version of 'mkinitrd'. I got the impression from the fedora8/9 branching that this newer 'mkinitrd' is not available in fedora 8... Is this true?
What (if any) functionality am I missing out on by using the f8 branch?

Correct. If you're building for Fedora 8, you'll want to ensure that your configs include something like commit 11dbd0bb5ba4b845e80109e990e4e780ca402218 so that they'll continue to boot

Persistence and there will likely continue to be things. Basically once a release is out, I'm not doing much if any feature bits. I did backport some bugfixes for both Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 recently just because there had been some explicit requests in bugzilla

Any idea if a version from the fedora 8 branch will work in fedora 9 and beyond?
