Yes, it is certainly a sad state.

The primary difference seems to be some changes in the uImage-related code, and 
that meta-oe has some initramfs-support in its kernel.bbclass.

Can someone with deeper knowledge comment on this? I guess that it shouldn't 
be any real problems in getting the initramfs support code merged into oe-
core. 

What about the differences in the uImage code? (I haven't really looked into 
the differences).

Cheers,
