Not feedback on the method, just on the changelog entry. :-P It doesn't remove the need for an initramfs. What it does do, is remove the need for a separate /boot partition in many initramfs cases (since grub2 can read LVM and I think some RAID types -- but not, I think, dm-crypt). The bootloader doesn't mount the root FS; if the root FS is on some setup that the kernel can't autoconfig (like LVM or dm-crypt), then you need an initramfs either way. :-) I'll see if I can poke at the grub2 instructions in the next week or so (hopefully).
