It simplifies device and mountpoint enumeration not to have a separate
disk. It would also mean we couldn't use standard Fedora paths, or
we'd have to have bind-mount /bin etc on to the disk mount point,
which again complicates things.
Anyway, what we're talking about here is a problem in qemu. How is
making initrd loading faster not a benefit for everyone? Every boot
has to load an initrd of some size, so making that operation faster
benefits every user, even if individually only by a small amount.
