Take a look at the timestamps on rc.sysinit - I think it has always
been in there. Considering how seldom the initscripts are updated,
you are probably safe with either option. In your case, I would
probably remove the lvm2 package. (rpm -e --nodeps lvm2) The only
problem would be if you get a drive that has LVM that you need to
read...
