You can't go with this to 5.3.  This will go, if any, to HEAD.

But I don't really like in his actual form.

If You try to path /etc/rc.d/initdiskless, try not remove *.cpio.gz 
expand using /stand, but add *.tar expand using /bin/pax.

You may also try some auto detection and use what is present 
between /stand/cpio, /stand/gzip, /rescue/tar, /rescue/gzip ...

Don't try moving gzip/libgzip from /usr to rootfs. It's really a big 
change.
