Including the ability to pivot_root it away, which seems like the main
sticking point.
If this can be done without any overhead, that seems fine, but if this
involves mounting an extra filesystem, that may add an appreciable
amount of boot time for systems trying to boot in milliseconds. (Such
systems would not use an initramfs if they're going to go on and boot a
separate root filesystem, but they can use an initramfs as their *only*
filesystem.)
