hardcoded mkinitrd dep?

[dragoran]

I was testing f7 kernels on fc6 recently to test iwlwifi and I noticed 
that the kernel depends on a newer mkinitrd for (no?) reason...
I install the kernels with --nodeps and the boot up fine, the new initrd 
also looks ok (has the pata modules etc.)
what was the reason for this?
a broken mkinitrd version between fc6 and the reuquired one that should 
be avoided?
