Hi,

You forgot to provide any information (at least a summary) about what this is and how this will work. Please don't assume everyone is familiar with it.
There is one major question: how will this interface to distributions?
How can distributions add their own initializations and configurations or are they going to put an initrd on top of the kernel initrd? If this will have a kernel and a distribution part, it poses the question whether klibc has to be distributed with the kernel at all (a libc has a standard API after all) and the kernel just provides the kernel specific parts to whatever the distribution provides.
