By their own research it saves FIVE MILLISECONDS PER BOOT on typical hardware and doesn't even provide any benefit on some hardware: http://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.com/2019/09/boot-speed-improvements-for-… The benefits will even continue to diminish as SSD storage becomes more prevalent. Compared to the amount of work needed to implement this it seems like the definition of a waste of effort for all concerned. Every bootloader needed to be changed. Admittedly the feature turned up in the kernel years ago and was implemented in grub years ago. But for things that aren't grub that chose not to make the change it's now forced because it's no longer a question of "do you want your boot process to be literally five milliseconds faster?" it's "do you want to be able to boot Ubuntu?" Ubuntu is the second most popular Linux distribution at BitFolk ((31%; Debian 57%) and in the cloud in general it is the most popular. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
