I’m aware of the over-ride, just suggested that it be documented for others.

I’ve never used cpio initramfs images before, I used the ext2 ones just because when I was learning how to create a ramdisk, it used ext2 and I didn’t bother to check alternate options.

I think because of this, I missed the whole point of this discussion, sorry about that ;-), which was to remove the ext2 versions only, but keep the cpio initramfs image generation.
