IMO, not requiring initrd feels something that we would want anyway sooner or later. But no strong opinion for this cycle either way.

BTW, do you know why the boot.cmd line for beagle IMAGE_FILE case used root= rather than boot_snippet? was there a bug in qemu about initrd or just a follow up hack of not using initrd there?

I personally find UUID much cleaner than hardcoded device name; it is useful for changing the boot device (e.g. from MMC to USB); for instance, we're discussing moving to rootfs on USB on vexpress
